Do you want to optimize your software purchases tomorrow? JTB FlexReport is an inexpensive solution that will help you. By the license tracking JTB FlexReport does and the graphic reports that can be produced JTB FlexReport will helps you to manage and forecast future license usage and license usage trends at your company.

Process Monitor is an extra module for JTB FlexReport that can be used to monitor usage of most any Windows application. Process Monitor has been used to gather usage data of AutoCAD LT and single licensed AutoCAD to determine how much these applications are used and to decide if network licenses is a better option and if so, how many licenses are needed.

Process Monitor now has the option to show a dialog box like below when a user starts any application specified to be monitored. This will save a project with the database transaction so it eventually will be possible to report on.
