Is it possible to eliminate denied license requests?

[mdhutchinson]

I visited http://www.jtbworld.com/jtbflexreport/ and got some good tips ... but short of purchasing stand-a-lone for all ... is it possible to set up options file to eliminate license denials and still optimize our software spending?

Any tips for doing this beyond JBworld's web site?

If you don't have enough licenses, you'll always get denied. There is no magic way to pull a license out of thin air.

Yeah, and I'm actually more comfortable with this model as it ensures
compliance.

I deployed a license server for a competing product a couple weeks ago,
and was surprised that this wasn't the case. It only notifies me when
we go over. Talk about heebie jeebies...

The users like it though, as they only had about 20% usage, but still
ran into each other on the single license when they needed it most.

Elimination is not an option. This is not possible.
Detection is the answer though to identify your bottlenecks.

With our software you can get graphs on denied users. This might help you
see more details about what goes on.

Okay... I am dumb when it comes to html, inter- and intranet stuff... but one question I had about your X-formation... since it works with intranet... do you have to have an intranet for it to work or can it simply generate the html that we could open with our browser?... also, are there a variety of reports already enabled out-of-the-box... or do they have to be built in some programming environment by a knowledgeable html or xml individual?

I assume you mean License Statistics. X-Formation is our company name.

Yes it can. The software outputs html files which you can just open. It
doesn't get easier then this.

There is no need to have any programming knowledge.
You can make custom reports also which will give you reports about what you
would like to see. These custom reports are also available as html and CSV
which can be directly imported into Excel.

I would like you to go through official channels though if you want further
product support instead of using a public newsgroup.
