"We had been using license tracking software at Marshall Space Flight Center for several years and come to depend on the information that it provided. The software we had been using was discontinued and its replacement product was dramatically more expensive. Upon searching for a replacement, I discovered License Statistics from X-Formation.
License Statistics provides all the functionality we need at a considerable savings over all its competitors. We use many different license products from a wide variety of vendors and it would have cost substantially more to track all these licenses with any other software.
License Statistics has worked well for our needs and X-Formation support has been superb." Brian GriffinMechanical CAD Support Manager, NASA / MSFC
"We at AMEC have been extremely pleased with the valuable data made available to us through License Statistics. Used for over 500 users and at several locations, License Statistics provides us with a reliable means of keeping track of our software utilization over a period of time as well as giving us real-time usage reporting."Steve BlackwellAMEC
"X-Formation provided us with a licensing solution (LM-X) for our software that is both flexible and strong. Support has been excellent and we have not regretted our decision."Matt M.Director of Applications, Tuscany Design Automation, Inc.
"iTrinegy was searching for a cost effective, flexible and strong licensing software for our INE for Windows network emulator range and after searching the market we decided on LM-X. LM-X has an excellent approach in licensing individual features of an application and also allowed us to automate the licensing. Its level of encryption meant that we could be confident that once we had licensed the software to run on one computer the license could not be moved to another. The technical support has been excellent and allowed us to rapidly integrate and deploy our software."David Skingsley iTrinegy
"SRI International has been evaluating license system for a new line of software. Our key criteria were cross-platform (Windows, Linux, Mac OS X), ease of use and complete in term of features. We did want the ability to generate time limited version, floating licenses and MAC address limited. LM-X can do it all. We found during our evaluation that X-Formation was extremely helpful and we went from evaluation to a product release in less than 1 month." Regis VincentProgram Manager, SRI International
"For years, each of our offices managed the licenses for an expensive engineering program individually. About a year-and-a-half ago we decided to consolidate our licenses onto a single license server, and as licenses needed to be renewed we moved them to the new license server. We started monitoring that server with X-Formation's License Statistics and determined we had more licenses than we needed. At our last renewal we were able to save thousands of dollars, much more than License Statistics costs. Now that we have reached a steady state with our license usage, we have found even more licenses we don't need and we will be able to save more money at our next license renewal."Paul GibsonNetwork Administrator, Technology Service Corporation
"License Statistics has been working out extremely well for us. We use the software to actively minimize the license usage of our highly expensive software and appreciate that the software shows us license utilization so we can track the actual usage. Last year alone, it saved SBM Offshore over $10,000 USD by preventing unnecessary expenditures. We recommended it to all our partners so they can share in our success story." Charles S. BellIT Manager, IT Services, SBM Atlantia
"We chose X-Formation as our license technology provider primarily because we were unhappy with the lack of responsiveness and support we received from our previous provider. We have since successfully released our software with the LM-X license manager to major OEMs in the Auto, Aerospace and Rail industries. We have been particularly pleased with the progress X-Formation has made in terms of new capabilities and robustness."Christoph OrtmannDirector Industrial Solutions, VI-grade GmbH
"Unlike our past reactive license purchasing practices, License Statistics now makes it possible for us to monitor our license usage over the year so we can react proactively to anticipated license shortages. License Statistics enables us to buy additional licenses right when we need them, saving on license and maintenance costs, as well as minimizing the troubles of license shortages."
"We have been fully satisfied with License Statistics. Not only does the software solve our business problems, but the support during and after the trial period and the documentation are great."
Moritz Amort IT Engineer, Leitner Technologies
"LM-X has been an excellent replacement for FLEXlm. The interface from both an end user's as well as from a developer's point of view is very straightforward. The functionality meets or exceeds that of FLEXlm and the support from X-Formation has been very good."John LuDirector Software Tools, VeriSilicon

The LM-X based licensing is easy to work with from the customer's perspective. We are very content with this solution, LM-X has been the right choice and X-Formation's support excels through short response times."Dr. Ir. A.P.J. Voncken, Senior EngineerFEV Motorentechnik GmbH
"With 6 different servers, more than 500 licenses from 4 vendors, and about 700 potential users, it was essential that we monitor our license usage in order to define a purchasing strategy for our software. License Statistics offered us a comprehensible, visual tool that met our needs for a reasonable price. A significant benefit for us is the fact that all data is stored in databases, so we can analyze a large quantity of data in various ways and produce all the reports we need. License Statistics has been easy to install and use, and X-Formation's product support has been reliable and helpful."Clara Alonso Fdez-CoppelTragsatec

Joakim BrostenHPC System Specialist, ABB AB - Corporate Research Sweden
"Lingsoft needed a flexible and secure licensing system for its speech recognition software when deployed by third parties in high-volume speech-enabled services, where a robust floating license engine was required. LM-X met, and even surpassed, our expectations. Based on these good experiences we now consider to expand the range of using the versatile LM-X to other Lingsoft language technology applications, such as morphosyntactic analyzers, search expanders and proofing tools for all major environments. "Mikael Pesonen, System EngineerLingsoft, Inc.

"As a start-up software developer we were looking for a flexible, cost-effective licensing solution that could grow with our needs. X-Formation fit that bill perfectly, and with their extremely responsive technical staff we've been able to implement LM-X much faster than expected." Achim StremplatTechnical Director, Spielwerke
"After evaluating other monitoring tools, I found that License Statistics has the best cost/performance ratio. Other commercial products are expensive to use when you need to monitor many vendors, and they cannot monitor various different license servers. On the other end of the spectrum, free tools have no maintenance or enhancements. In contrast, License Statistics took less than a half hour to install, lets me monitor a variety of license servers, and has excellent support."Dietmar EberthKoenig und Bauer AG
"We have been using License Statistics since November 2006 and it has been working excellently. We keep track of license usage for several applications from different vendors, and License Statistics provides us with all the information we need to decide how many licenses we require for our applications. We have been able to reduce the number of licenses and save money for several applications, and in a few other cases, License Statistics made it clear that we needed additional licenses."Ivar Westerholt Senior System Engineer, GustoMSC
"I would like to note that we have been very pleased with LM-X and your level of support to date." Neil LofgrenVice President, Product Development, GCS Research
"License Statistics is already offering us great benefits just weeks after purchase. X-Formation and their staff have provided us with nothing less than top of the line service."
