Case Study: Autoneum achieves 28% engineering software license savings with OpenLM

28% savings on engineering software license costs overall

Autoneum, a global automotive technology leader with 12,800 employees, needed better control over engineering software licensing to keep costs down in a lean environment while ensuring productivity stayed high. The company relied on OpenLM On Premise Enterprise Solution to monitor complex CAD licensing across multiple managers, including FLEXlm, DSLS, LM-X, and RMS, so it could prove actual usage before making procurement and renewal decisions.

With OpenLM, Autoneum gained detailed visibility into license activity, true denials, and feature usage, allowing its IT team to reclaim unused licenses and right-size renewals. The result was a 28% reduction in software license spending, with some maintenance costs offset immediately by dropping unnecessary licenses, and stronger confidence that cost savings would not harm business operations.
