License management functions

As ICM is fundamentally a workgroup environment, so shared across multiple offices and multiple users, we need to be able to understand license usage of user interfaces and simulation engines. We need ICM to log usage so we can then develop tools to interpret that information or build this into ICM so we can see usage. We often have instances when users cannot get licenses but there is no way to log this so we can establish a business case for purchasing more licenses. Similar with simulation engines we need to be able to report usage to demonstrate the need to invest in more processing ability/licenses. Ideally we need ICM to log usage: username license type (Viewer/1D/2D/sim etc) start of session end of session total licenses in use We can then use this information to generate live reports for users and managers of the system and provide forecasts in demand Thanks
