Latest: May 2008 : CADminTools 4.0 is released : get it while it's hot!
CAD licenses typically cost thousands of pounds/dollars/euros/etc... plus thousands more in related hardware/training.
Plus, it's often difficult to get a real picture of your CAD license usage, and to link this to your people & design teams.
CADminTools can help you, whether you're a CAD Systems Administrator, Manager or local Power User . . .
Fancy a test-drive? - here's an online demo [older version 3.1] - showing how the pages look + work.
What do people say about it?
From people who have already worked with CADminTools...
- "...Thanx for this wonderful tool!!!! Works like charm ;) I track the usage (for over 500 users worldwide) of 15 different licenses with this..."
- "...thanks for putting this together. It really fills a need for us..."
- "...I have been searching high and low for a ProE license tracking/usage program. And finally, I found your website via ptcuser.org..."
- "...I'm very keen to introduce the license logger to our setup. Top marks for developing it...."
- "...Today I found your Licence Tracker. Very cool solution!"
What is it?
CADminTools is a license tracker with joined-up databases, enabling you to:
- monitor CAD license usage - including Pro/ENGINEER, SolidWorks, Inventor, SDRC I-DEAS and any other program using FlexLM
- store all your users, license and hardware info in a linked database
- create graphs of usage trends over time - build up a picture of how you're using CAD
- and much more . . .
I've decided to release CADminTools as an open-source project, meaning:
- you can use it free, distribute & modify as long as the copyright notice & disclaimer remain intact.
- you can contribute improvements and enhancements, all you need is some simple programming experience.
- the project is managed on sourceforge.net, including all released files and documentation.
Any questions, either look on the forums or drop us a line: ed [at] cadmin [dot] co [dot] uk
