LicenseAnalyzer™ Level 2

Open iT LicenseAnalyzer Level 2 monitors all applications' true usage, whether standalone or server-based, Cloud or on-premises. Level 2 collectors reside on the host machine where the applications intended for monitoring are installed. These collectors assess the level of inactivity by monitoring CPU utilization, I/O operations, keyboard strokes, and mouse interactions. Depending on how each application is configured, LicenseAnalyzer Level 2 tracks the applications and proactively alerts the users about the inactivity.

There are four types of data collectors involved in Level 2:

  • AM – collects keyboard and mouse events and the application window, which acts as a receiver of the said events.
  • FreezeMonitor – groups process information by user configuration and records the overall status based on the activity threshold of the parameters.
  • AppUsage – collects process information.
  • Disabler Pop-up – collects user acknowledgement thru a pop-up when applications become inactive.

Using this data, Open iT can establish a correlation between Level 1 license usage and the true active usage of applications for which entitlements are licensed.

warning

Make sure that the AM, AppUsage, and Disabler binaries have an integrity level equal to or higher than the applications being monitored to collect memory usage data and create handles to notify users of inactive sessions.
