Open iT supports Bluebeam historical and real-time usage reporting by collecting data through API requests to the Bluebeam Portal. Real-time usage is collected through sampling. Historical data can be built from sampling or through historical log collection.
Real-time usage monitoring is supported via the License Monitor.

The CLIMS interface now displays an intuitive view of the changes within FlexNet license files. CLIMS compares the local and GUI copies of the file, then summarizes the changes per line, which are categorized as:
- No Changes
- Added
- Modified
- Inactive
- Deleted
Aside from the summary, CLIMS also gives insights or warnings about syntax errors that may be introduced to the license file.
#31685
Disabler creates a report in case an application unexpectedly terminates during resumption. This provides easy access to information that may help rationalize the causality of the incident. This feature is only available for Windows.
