JTB FlexReport web report

if you want to host a web based version of JTB FlexReport we have it. See this blog post for an example of usage.

More functionality

JTB FlexReport can produce HTML reports showing who uses the licenses right now. Basic report Sample 1. Advanced report Sample 2 or a dark version. These can be created manually or automatically and for example be put on SharePoint. See also the freeware JTB FlexReport LT.

Histogram Chart that can help to determine if you need more or less licenses. Notice how there are 25 licenses but probably it could be enough with 20 or even 15 licenses because there is very small percentage when there are more than 15 licenses used concurrently.

Data is also logged to a database so you can track the usage per user or host (computer) as well as work with groups of users or hosts. Great if you need help to split license costs. Groups of features or servers can also be created and be used for reporting upon.

Email notifications (alerts/reminders) when usage is exceeding a specified level.

Let's say you have 10 licenses of your software that costs $3,000 each. Now you have 20 users that shares these licenses. Do you know if you really need these 10 licenses or if you need more now when 2 more users are coming in? If you have JTB FlexReport it will be easier to make a correct decision. If you just need to purchase 1 less license imagine your ROI (Return Of Investment) and benefit of using JTB FlexReport.

With the help of JTB FlexReport you can minimize software and maintenance/subscription/renting spendings.

JTB FlexReport supports reporting on usage of applications and companies that uses FlexNet / FLEXlm from Flexera (formerly Globetrotter Software, Macrovision and Acresso), IBM LUM and applications like 12d Model from 12D Solutions, RISA (SLM based) and many more. Several thousands of independent software vendors have used the FlexNet / FLEXlm family of products. Among them are companies and/or applications from ANSYS (ANSYS License Manager), Abaqus, Autodesk, AVEVA (PDMS), Borland, Cadence, CADopia (IntelliCAD), Citrix (Citrix MetaFrame, Citrix XenApp), Cognos, EDS, Esri (ArcGIS), I-Deas, Macromedia, Mathsoft (MathCAD), Mathworks (Matlab), Mentor, Pixar, Platform, Progman/Cadcom, PTC (Pro-Engineer), Rasterx (RxView), Rational, Siemens PLM Licensing, Softimage, Solidworks, Sybase, Synopsys, Unigraphics, WindRiver, etc. IBM LUM is used by Dassault Systemes with applications like Catia and Enovia. LM-X is for example used by Solibri products. MathLM (Mathematica), Vertex Systems (Vertex BD - BIM Software for Steel and Wood Framing Construction, Vertex G4 - 3D Mechanical Engineering Software for Machinery Industries, Vertex Flow PDM / PLM Software).

RLM (Reprise License Manager) is for example used by Ansys/EvenAG, Bitplane, CadWorks, CMG (CMGL), Bricsys/BricsCAD, DesignBuilder, Elemental Tech, FEMTools/DDS, FINCAD, Genarts, GibbsCAM, Graebert (ARES), HumanSolutions, Lanner, LLamasoft, MAPublisher, Minesight, Oasys Design Systems, Programming Research, Runge, Siemens/KineoCam, Siemens/LMS (LMS International), Simerics, SolidAngle, Solver, StreamSim, TecPlot, Trace32 (Lauterbach), WesternGeco (Gedco). Import of RLM license server report log is available as well as snapshots taken with the rlmutil.exe utility.

This is an example of a detailed report created with JTB FlexReport. Every user is mapped to a group. The group can be a location, division, cost center, it's up to you. You can also see what users that are not within a group.

Report app that makes it easy to create different type of charts and reports of the license usage and historical usage. Create the reports manually or automatically on schedule to be published on a server as PNG files or emailed.

This report is showing how many hours each user has used applications each month sorted with the highest usage first.

If you have cascading licenses or multiple versions of the same application, you can combine the various separate reports to get a total usage. This way it can help you to comply with that your company are not using more licenses than allowed as can be the case if you for example have AutoCAD 2018, AutoCAD 2017, etc. on subscription from Autodesk.

Look at historical data of for example of 20 months where max usage per day is showed. Notice that the available number of licenses has been adjusted up and down. In this case the licenses are rented on a monthly basis.

Or 10 months.

Or just 5 days.

Any of the chart and list reports can be created automatically on a regular interval as PNG images and if a fixed name is used for them they can be put on a simple HTML page that users can access or for example SharePoint.

Drilldown to find who might have used licenses at a specific point in time.

Usage per Feature per Day.

Denied per Month. Notice in column LicenseFound how some users did not find a license within a reasonable time as well as how many times they were denied.

Concurrent Usage Per Month report showing max, min and average usage as well as standard deviation.

Find out what users have borrowed licenses but still are online and connected to the network and if needed contact them to return the license earlier. Use the Pinged Host Report. 

Chart report on how many hours users have been using a feature.

IBM LUM idle time reporting is available where the the percentage idle time per Workbench, user and host is reported on per day, week or month. Contact us for details.

German privacy law, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance or similar can be met by not recording any details about the users and hosts.

Multiple license servers in a LNA/WAN can be monitored from one location even across multiple time zones or countries. No limitation in number of servers, features, users or hosts that can be monitored.

FlexNet/FLEXlm support includes Floating (Concurrent) Licenses (also referred to as concurrent usage or network licensing), Redundancy via License-File List (distributed license servers), Redundant License Server Systems (triads or three-server redundancy) and node-locked licenses (Counted Licenses and Uncounted Licenses).

This is a list of systems that are not directly supported but JTB Process Monitor can report on the application usage of many of the applications using these license systems. Sentinel HASP (Aladdin HASP), Archicad wibu, Felics, Bentley licensing and SELECTserver, RSoft, GNS License Manager, Orcaflex, Transoft, Sparx, Bitlock, Elprocad, Rhino3d zoo, IBM Rational ClearCase Atria, EPLAN License Manager (ELM).
Contact us if you have a need for full support of any of them or any that is not listed here.

Get ready to optimize network license and most any other software's usage as well as your software assets.

Network license assessment can be made easier with JTB World's license reporting for FlexNet and many other license systems.

Are you a PowerBI user? if so connect to the database and create your own reports. 

Typical users of JTB FlexReport are: IT managers, Director of Information Technology, CAD managers, IT staff, IT technicians, IT Asset Management staff (ITAM), License Administrators, Software Compliance Specialists, Software and Sys Admins, Application Administrators, BIM/CAD Systems Managers, Asset Co-ordinators, Network Sys. Admin., Systems Administrators, Design Technologies Administrator, Technology Manager any many more.

JTB Process Monitor

This is a separately purchased module that expands the functionality of JTB FlexReport to be able to record and monitor usage of processes or applications.

This opens the door to monitor usage of standalone applications like Word, Excel, Outlook, Adobe creative cloud for teams, AutoCAD LT or applications with network licenses that otherwise are not supported by JTB FlexReport. And with that you can reduce cost and optimize licensing for many more products.

There is a service part and a client part of the application and two separate installers. The data is saved into the main JTB FlexReport database and reports on the usage can be done in the normal way. This means that JTB FlexReport also needs to be installed. The client computer does not need to be connected to the network all the time. It still can monitor the usage and when connected again it will send back the data to the server.

JTB Process Monitor is useful while preparing to convert standalone licenses to network licenses as it will help to know how much the applications are used and by what users.

Another usage scenario is to identify users that might not need a full license.

There are also applications that even though they use FlexNet or LUM they are used only a few seconds or minutes and their usage recorded with JTB FlexReport is limited because of the snapshot intervals. With JTB Process Monitor also these applications can be more correctly monitored.

Optionally allow the user to select a project to associate with the session when an application is started.

If you have a need to split costs of software based on usage JTB Process Monitor will be a big help.

JTB Process Monitor can be used to report on what actual product is run on the client when using an Autodesk suite or collection license.

JTB Process Monitor can be set to report on actual usage of a software by monitoring mouse and keyboard usage within the software. So if the software is not being used for a certain time this will be detected.

See more in the JTB Process Monitor Documentation.

Other downloads

Sample database for MS Access
Sample database for MS SQL Server - useful for evaluation and demo of the report and chart features.

Download of FlexNetFeatures.xml. Useful if there is no internet connection or access to the file is blocked where JTB FlexReport is installed. If you want to get descriptions for features in JTB FlexReport Config>Features then download this xml file to your desktop and save it into the JTB FlexReport folder and then click on JTB FlexReport Config>Features>Get Feature Descriptions.

Tracking of Primavera usage is available upon request.

These are two MS Access based tools to help merging multiple MDB databases into one or update an old one if there are database definition problems like indexes missing resulting in duplicate rows and other potential issues.
JTB FlexReport Merge DBs 11.0.0.zip

JTBFlexReport.NET.mdb 11.0.0.zip is an empty database if there is a need to start from scratch and you don't have the empty copy in the installation folder.

SQL Server scripts:

Backup old data: JTB FlexReport SQL backup old data 11.TXT

Delete old data: JTB FlexReport SQL delete old data 11.TXT

Create a copy of the database and upgrade the copy at the same time:
JTB FlexReport SQL create and copy db version 11.4.0.txt
This can be useful if JTB FlexReport is not able to automatically add new tables, new indexes or new columns.

Upgrade Tips

To upgrade, uninstall previous JTB installations and install the new ones. Before uninstalling it is good practice to first stop the JTB services. Only the client installations can be installed without uninstalling previous version. If you want to be on the safe side make a backup of the database or the setup folder but that is normally not needed.

Some settings are saved in the registry and normally are upgraded correctly. But to be on the safe side backup of these keys can be done (one or both may exist):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JTB World
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\JTB World

If you want to start with a new database from scratch, backup, delete or rename the old database before installing the new version of JTB FlexReport Core. JTBFlexReport.NET.mdb is the MS Access database to use. For SQL Server see Core documentation how to create a new database.

If using MS Access database now it's time to remember to compact the JTBFlexReport.NET.mdb database using the Database Administration tool or MS Access.

JTB FlexReport Config > Update DB can be used to update the database definition to the latest if you plan to keep using an old database. Sometimes this update is not able to solve all problems. A more thorough method for MS Access databases is using JTB FlexReport Merge DBs <version>.zip, extract JTBFlexReportMergeDBs - manual start.mdb and follow the instructions in the .txt file. This can solve bloating databases due to missing or incorrect indexes. If using SQL Server database there are scripts that can help to update the database definition.

Run JTB FlexReport Config>Launch Service Configurator and make sure the settings are correct and press ok. Then check all other properties like license servers to monitor. Start service.

A good practice is to after a while make sure everything works after the upgrade. Start to check that JTBFlexReport2.htm found in JTB FlexReport folder looks ok.
Look for the JTBFlexReport.log file in the temporary folder (the folder can be set in JTB FlexReport Config and is as default %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\JTB World\JTB FlexReport). If there are errors in that file that you don't understand please zip and email it to us for further investigations.

Run JTB FlexReport Report Service Configurator and make sure the settings are correct. Press Configure and start services and use the two test buttons. Run the Report Client and verify that the reports are working.

Sometimes the following can be needed: Run JTB FlexReport Report Service Configurator, make sure JTB FlexReport Sampling Service is checked, press Configure and Start Services, then press Clear followed by Sampling All Records.

If "Log On As" has been manually modified (when UNC paths are used) for the Windows services of JTB FlexReport you need to modify this again after installing. Typical indicator can be that denials are no longer recorded or reported on even though the debug log paths are still available on the FlexNet tab.

If the configurator for the report service or client crashes or other strange errors happens it might help to uninstall, empty the installation folder(s) and reinstall. Make also sure the .NET Framework is matching the requirement for the installer.

On some systems when running the installer nothing happens. This can be because the settings on the server does not allow running files downloaded from the internet. To solve this right click on the exe and msi files one at a time, select properties and click on unblock.

Purchase

You can always try the product first to make sure it fills your needs. Full support is provided during the trial period.

Contact us for a price quote by sending an email to info@jtbworld.com. Include what applications you have and the number of licenses each or at least the total number of licenses / modules / features / components / bundles / packages you want to report on. No need to include free licenses.

The price is ranging from a few hundred USD and up depending on the amount of network licenses it should handle (for example $3778 USD for 451-500 network licenses to monitor) and depending how much customization that needs to be done, if any. Enterprise license is $7404 USD.

The price is normally not based on number of license servers, services or number of applications or features.

JTB Process Monitor is priced in relation to an estimation of number of clients. The price per license is approximately 1/4 of the price for the main core JTB FlexReport application plus a base cost of $489 USD. Let us know approximately how many computers it should monitor and contact us for a quote.

Price is also geography-based to make the price attractive and reasonable in some countries that typically have lower priced software. Token based licenses are priced in relation to the number of tokens and how much they are worth. Node-locked licenses can also be valued lower than floating licenses. Autodesk subscription customers only pay for the license count they have on subscription even if they have multiple versions. Example: Count the base product/package AutoCAD but not the sum of AutoCAD 2019, 2018 and 2017. And for bundles only count the bundle/suite/collection and not the products that are part of the bundle. If you have a situation that you have much more network licenses than you make use of let us know as we can take that into account and lower the price.

If you're interested in renting the software contact us for details.

Educational institutions like schools, high schools and universities with free or educational licenses like Autodesk Campus licenses are offered substantial discount.

The price includes installation support, support, most upgrades, bug fixes, minor customizations during the first year. The price also includes that you can increase the number of licenses to report on with around 10-20%.

Maintenance (15% of the purchase price) including upgrades and support is available on a yearly basis after the first year. Maintenance is entirely optional. Increases of the number of licenses or products can be adjusted at the time of the change if there is a big increase or when the maintenance is to be paid. The maintenance can be lowered if the number of licenses goes down. The maintenance price can change from year to year as the money value is changing and due to currency exchange factors.

Payment methods

If you decide to purchase we will send you details so you can make a bank wire transfer or we will send you a hyperlink to a secure e-commerce web site that will handle the purchasing.

Email the computer number as reported in License Activation and you will receive a license key to unlock and register JTB FlexReport after the purchase is done. The license is perpetual even if you don't need or want to pay maintenance you can still use JTB FlexReport for the version you last paid for and for up to the amount of licenses to monitor you purchased for. If upgrade or support or increase of licenses to monitor is needed maintenance needs to be renewed.

SPLM (SmartPlant License Manager) documentation as below:

License file should be placed in the folder where the JTB FlexReport SPLM Service is installed.
This is the same license file as you have for JTB FlexReport core.

You need to run the setup.exe from JTBFlexReportSPLMService_(version no here).zip on the computer where you now have JTB FlexReport installed and running. You will get a configurator showing where you specify the path to JTBFlexReport.NET.mdb or whatever database you selected. Click on Configure and on Start Service. Take note of the port number and the server machine name as this is needed to configure the SPLM client.

JTBFlexReportSPLMClient_(version no here).zip needs to be copied to the SPLM server or servers and run setup.exe. In the configurator specify the path to pdlice.exe (local path required, example C:\path\pdlice.exe) and use the same port and name as in the service configurator. Click on Configure and click on Start. Then click on Exit.
Now if everything goes well you should eventually get SPLM usage added to JTBFlexReport.NET.mdb or whatever database you selected.
