Case Study: Freescale Semiconductor achieves centralized, automated EDA license management and cost savings with Flexera FlexNet Manager

Freescale Semiconductor Centralizing your global licenses with FlexNet Manager

Freescale Semiconductor, a global leader in embedded semiconductors with more than 24,000 employees, faced growing complexity in managing costly EDA software across 5,000+ users at sites in 30+ countries. The company needed a centralized, real-time way to track license usage, ensure vendor and regulatory compliance, and accurately forecast future software needs to control engineering costs and purchasing decisions.

Freescale deployed FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications to automate license tracking, centralize reporting and provide real-time alerts and historical usage data. The solution improved compliance reporting, optimized license allocation (reducing unused seats and denials), cut soft costs such as IT time and productivity losses, enabled better internal chargeback and purchasing decisions, and helped increase return on EDA software investment.
