Unused licenses are costing you.

Right now.

The shift to named-user and cloud-based engineering software subscriptions has created a dangerous blind spot. You’re purchasing seats based on headcounts and assumptions, not actual usage. When renewal time comes, you’re negotiating blind, overpaying for idle licenses, and leaving cost savings on the table.

Agent Monitor eliminates that blind spot entirely: real activity, real users, real decisions. Agent Monitor empowers engineering teams to see what’s really happening on user machines. By monitoring software processes directly, you gain visibility into how applications are used, when they’re idle, and how to optimize license consumption across your organization.

Stop paying for licenses nobody uses!

04 Key Capabilities of Agent Monitor

Regularly-Updated Process Visibility



Track active software processes across desktops and workstations.



Understand which applications are running, how long they’re used, and by whom, without relying solely on license server logs.

Intelligent Idle
Detection



CPU Activity: Monitors resource consumption to identify when applications are no longer actively used.



Process State: Monitors process behavior by detecting active, idle, and inactive states for better usage insights.

Automated idle License Alerts



Instead of forcefully releasing licenses, Agent Monitor sends real-time warnings to clients when applications exceed idle thresholds.



This encourages responsible usage and helps teams proactively manage license availability, without disrupting user workflows.

Dashboard & Decision Support



Track activation and CPU usage per client



Identify underutilized licenses and casual users



Evaluate named-user and cloud-based license models



Support migration to more cost-effective alternatives

Offline Usage
Logging



Even when users are disconnected from the network, Agent Monitor continues to log activity.



Data syncs automatically when the device reconnects, perfect for hybrid and remote teams.

Seamless integration

Agent Monitor works with all engineering software applications processes running on client devices- providing a single source of truth for your engineering software landscape at the client level.

Frequently asked questions

What is Agent Monitor in LAMUM?

Agent Monitor is a capability within LAMUM (License Asset Manager with Usage Monitoring) designed to help engineering managers, IT teams, CAD/PLM administrators, and license administrators monitor named-user and cloud-based software licenses. It provides visibility into software activation, CPU utilization, and usage patterns, helping organizations make smarter, cost-effective license decisions.

How does Agent Monitor track software usage?

Agent Monitor collects usage data from client devices through the Agent Monitor Client installed on Windows devices. It tracks software activation, runtime, and CPU utilization for monitored processes. Then this data is periodically sent to the Agent Monitor Server, providing detailed insights into license usage.

Which devices and operating systems are supported by Agent Monitor?

Agent Monitor Client supports devices running Windows 10, Windows 11, or Windows Server 2016 and newer. The Agent Monitor Server must run on a host with LAMUM NX1.2 Server installed on Windows Server 2016 or newer. Linux servers or clients are not supported.

Can Agent Monitor help reduce software licensing costs?

Yes. By identifying casual, view-only, or hobby users, Agent Monitor allows organizations to migrate them to cost-effective alternatives. It provides actionable insights into high-cost, named-user licenses, enabling informed decisions on license reduction, reallocation, or new tool investments.

What types of dashboards and reports does Agent Monitor provide?

Agent Monitor offers a comprehensive dashboard with:

Tool activation heat maps

CPU utilization line charts

Users and client devices activity details.

Machine-specific CPU graphs

History graphs of software usage over time

This allows administrators to visualize trends, monitor high-usage tools, and identify potential optimization opportunities.

How is Agent Monitor deployed across multiple devices?

For small deployments (fewer than 10 devices), the Agent Monitor Client can be installed manually. For larger deployments, Microsoft Active Directory Group Policy is recommended, enabling mass deployment from the Agent Monitor Server while ensuring proper configuration and data collection.

What data does Agent Monitor collect from client devices?

Agent Monitor tracks:

Software activation counts

Process runtime and frequency

CPU utilization for each monitored tool

Usage patterns over customized time periods

This data can help organizations analyze software utilization, identify high-usage processes, and make cost-effective decisions without any hassle.

How does Agent Monitor communicate between server and clients?

Agent Monitor uses a simple, lightweight communication flow. Agent Monitor communicates through scheduled client check-ins. The client relays usage data to the server, and the server returns any updates to application processes and configuration settings to the client during that connection.

Is the Agent Monitor historical usage date range customizable?

You can select the date range to focus on the specific time period you need to analyze, giving you clear, targeted insights.

How do I activate Agent Monitor after installation?

TeamEDA provides an Agent Monitor Server license file (amactivation.lic). After installing the Agent Monitor Server, place this license file in the default directory:

C:\LAMUM\apache\htdocs\agentmonitor\conf

Once activated via the user interface, Agent Monitor is ready to collect and report software usage data.
