Mark, an administrator with Reltic Data Inc. recently placed an order for 10000 paper-based licenses of NetIQ SecureLogin to enhance the single sign-on for employees. Currently, the organization is restructuring and it has led to employee provisioning and de-provisioning. This scenario has led to a challenge for Mark and his associates to track the licenses for any of the following tasks:
Active SecureLogin user count: Number of SecureLogin users in the organization
Centralized license management: Manage SecureLogin license in the web portal
Actual SecureLogin usage reporting: Increase or decrease licenses based on usage
Email notification: License expiry email notification
Mark and his associates are relying on different methods to keep a track of all the licenses, and it is a challenging task to keep tabs on the licenses and record updated data.
NetIQ SecureLogin is providing integration with AutoPass License Server (APLS), a Micro Focus web-based solution for managing your Micro Focus Software product licenses. It helps you organize and manage your product licenses, server users, and client users. Following are the benefits of this integration:
Centralized Management of SecureLogin license
Usage Tracking and Report: Track the current SecureLogin licenses in use, as well as the usage history for APLS administrator to get a quick trend report on the product usage.
License Reservation and Blocking: Reserve SecureLogin license capacity for groups or clients
Centrally manage license, product, and custom usage
Generate usage reports to manage pay-per-use billing
Mark gets the following benefits with the current solution:
Track and monitor the number of users using SecureLogin
Get an actual number of SecureLogin instances in the organization
Be compliant with the license usage based on the reporting option
Receive license expiry email notification
In addition to these benefits, he can take the following decisions:
If his organization has purchased licenses higher than the regular usage required, he can work with the Micro Focus team to reduce the capacity and save cost
If the maximum license count is reached, a request for more licenses can be placed. It is an opportunity to fix up the gap.
More than 120 products of Micro Focus are using AutoPass license technology. 26 products have integrated with AutoPass License Server for managing the license centrally. More teams are planning to integrate.
