Full visibility into
your EDA license estate.
License Monitor gives IC design teams real-time seat utilization, peak-time alerts, and renewal tracking across every EDA vendor — with AI-powered querying and automatic incident creation via Alerts.
< 60s
Real-time utilization refresh
Live data across all license servers
License Monitor polls every FlexLM, RLM, and vendor-specific server every 60 seconds — giving you a live, accurate picture of who is using what, right now.
30+
Days advance renewal notice
Configurable per vendor & tool
License Monitor tracks every contract expiry date across all vendors and fires structured alerts well before renewals come due — so procurement is never caught off-guard.
< 1m
Alert to incident
Via Alerts integration
When a license expires or a seat threshold is breached, Alerts fires an incident to the right on-call engineer in under a minute — before engineers hit a checkout failure.
Every license. Every seat.
Real time.
License Monitor connects directly to your FlexLM and RLM license servers — no agents, no manual exports. You get a live view of seat utilization, queue depth, idle holds, and upcoming renewals the moment you deploy.
Real-Time Seat Utilization
See exactly who is using which license, for how long, and from which machine — updated every 60 seconds across all your FlexLM, RLM, and vendor-specific license servers.
Seat Utilization Insights
Track every checkout — who holds it, for how long, and whether it is actively in use. Configurable thresholds surface low-utilization patterns and inform right-sizing decisions at renewal.
Renewal & Expiry Tracking
Never be surprised by a license expiry again. Track renewal dates across every vendor contract with configurable lead-time alerts — 90, 30, and 7 days out.
Multi-Vendor, Vendor-Agnostic
Works across all major EDA license servers and custom FlexLM/RLM deployments. No dependency on any specific EDA vendor — deploy once, monitor everything.
Peak-Time License Alerts
License Monitor analyses historical checkout patterns and live queue depth to predict when your team will exhaust available seats — alerting you to add capacity before engineers hit checkout failures during tapeout or simulation sprints.
Ask anything about your EDA licenses in plain English.
Ask AI connects directly to your live license data and gives instant, contextual answers — no dashboards to navigate, no reports to run. Ask about utilization trends, upcoming renewals, peak demand windows, vendor coverage, or team usage patterns.
- Natural language queries against live license data
- Root cause analysis for utilization anomalies
- Renewal recommendations with supporting data
- Cost attribution by team, project, or individual
- Integrates with Stratos MCP for cross-platform context
Predict demand. Optimise spend. Negotiate with data.
Analytics AI goes beyond reporting — it forecasts future license demand, surfaces cost reduction opportunities, and arms you with hard data for vendor renewal negotiations.

forecast accuracy
Usage Trend Forecasting
ML-powered models project license demand 90 days forward based on historical usage patterns, project calendars, and team growth — so you right-size at renewal, not after.
100%
multi-vendor coverage
Usage Attribution
Break down EDA seat utilization by team, project, or individual user. Export structured reports for capacity planning, vendor discussions, or internal chargeback.

Renewal Intelligence
Analytics AI compares actual usage against contracted seats and surfaces right-sizing recommendations — with usage evidence to inform your renewal conversations with vendors.
< 5m
anomaly detection time
Anomaly Detection
Automatically surface unusual checkout patterns — off-hours usage, geographic anomalies, or sudden utilization spikes — that may indicate misuse or unlicensed access attempts.
< 2h
advance warning on seat exhaustion
Peak Demand Forecasting
Analytics AI monitors queue depth and wait times alongside historical usage cycles — tapeout sprints, simulation waves, release deadlines — and alerts your team when projected demand will exceed available seats, so you procure temporary licenses before anyone is blocked.

peak utilization tracking
Percentile Analytics
Understand license demand at P50, P90, and P99 levels — not just averages. Percentile analytics reveal the true peak load on your license pool, helping you right-size seats based on worst-case demand rather than mean utilization.

License events become incidents.
Automatically.
License Monitor is natively integrated with Alerts — every licence expiry, seat exhaustion, or anomaly automatically creates a structured incident, routes it to the right team, and escalates if unacknowledged. No manual monitoring. No missed renewals.
License event detected
License Monitor detects a trigger — expiry approaching, seat exhaustion, idle hold, or anomaly.
EDA license expiring in 7 days · Renewal overdue
Incident created in Alerts
An incident is automatically opened in Alerts with full context — which tool, which team, severity, and recommended action.
Incident #4821 created · Assigned to procurement-oncall
Team notified via preferred channel
Alerts routes the incident to the right person via Slack, PagerDuty, Teams, email, or phone — based on on-call schedule and escalation policy.
Slack DM sent to @procurement · Escalation in 2h if unacknowledged
Resolved and logged
Once the renewal is confirmed or seats are released, the incident closes automatically. Full audit trail maintained for compliance.
Incident resolved · Renewal confirmed · Audit log updated
