New LUM Import Module extends software use analysis and planning to Catia users

September 9, 2005

LinkRight Software, LLC, the developers of the Tracker software use analysis and planning tool, today introduced the LUM Import Module which enables Tracker to import utilization data from software licensed with IBM's License Use Management (LUM) product, such as Catia from Dassault Systemes.

The new LUM Import Module allows enterprises to utilize the advanced analysis and planning tools that Tracker previously only offered for software licensed using Macrovision's FLEXnet™ Publisher. Armed with accurate, detailed utilization data, software purchasers can confidently identify product needs and ensure that software expenditures meet the business requirements of the organization.

"Enterprises which support multiple licensing systems have historically had no single tool to allow them to track software usage and plan for future purchases or contract remixes, " states Stephen Kowalczyk, VP of Development at LinkRight. "With the release of the the LUM Import Module, Tracker now supports two of the most common licensing systems, FLEXnet™ Publisher and LUM, providing a single interface to help companies understand their software utilization and manage their software purchases, regardless of the licensing system used by the software vendors."

The LUM Import Module and Tracker are available immediately for any platform that supports Java 1.4.2 and higher.

LinkRight Software, LLC, a leading provider of user authentication and software use tracking tools offers Tracker, the first commercial tool to provide product level tracking, analysis and forecasting for Macrovision FLEXnet™ Publisher and IBM LUM licensed products. LinkRight LLC is a privately held corporation located in Scottsdale, Arizona.
