FlexNet Manager

License optimization to reduce spend and compliance risk

Manage and rightsize your assets with industry-leading management solutions.

This is software and IT asset management scaled for enterprises. Let us show you how better license management can save you money and time through software license optimization. And how you can manage your vendor relationships and contracts more efficiently for better results.

Flexera FlexNet Manager software and IT asset management solutions manage and optimize enterprise software regardless of location, from the desktop to the data center to the cloud. We'll give your organization a growth path and roadmap for success. Manage and reduce spend on applications from Adobe, IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, VMware, Symantec and SAP.

FlexNet Manager for Clients

Optimize your software licenses across desktops, laptops, and other client devices. FlexNet Manager for Clients automatically applies product use rights acquired through software license agreements from desktop vendors such as Adobe, Microsoft and Symantec. Product use rights can dramatically affect the number of licenses consumed by an organization, and must therefore be considered to minimize costs and ensure license compliance.
