What is JTB FlexReport? JTB FlexReport is a license usage report tool for applications licensed using network license systems like FlexNet (FlexNet), IBM LUM, DSLS, SPLM, Sentinel, LM-X, RLM, EPLAN (ELM), HASP, DPT, Tebis, CodeMeter among others. Track usage over time, hours used and much more. With JTB Process Monitor much more can be monitored like Bentley MicroStation, Autodesk Named User licenses and Autodesk Flex.

You may still find use for JTB FlexReport together with JTB Process Monitor. We can help analyze your historic usage so you can prepare for the switch.

If you find Autodesk's reporting is not enough our JTB Process Monitor could be a complement as it can also show both total and active usage both of Autodesk products and pretty much any other product you might want to track usage of.

Solution for modified Excel .xlam not saved after saving

I tried to digitally sign a .xlam (Excel Macro-Enabled Add-In) but no matter what modifications I did to the file the changes were not saved. Even if I put a copy of it in a different folder it did not help. I tried to disable all Add-ins, restarted Excel and tried to modify and save to no avail.

Have you seen this behavior? If so, I was able to solve it by starting Excel in safe mode (holding Ctrl down while starting Excel) and then open the .xlam file, modify and sign it.
