software license management

[justhumm]

random thought...anybody aware of any management programs or services that help keep track of your (multi-office company's) analysis software licenses?

RISA, CSIbridge, STAAD, LPile, SPW911, etc...

How many seats you have for a particular program? How many license seats are in use? When was the last time it was used?

Which program a network license? Which program requires a dongle?

Thanks!

That would be handy. There have been some companies that use a 3rd party license manager so all the products under that product would be mnages. FlexLM, now FlexNET is one of them. See

The license server often has that information available for the human manager
