  • Revoke access from inactive users automatically to allow active users to login

  • Real-time access manipulation allows users to use Jira when needed

  • Multi-application access management

  • Set up how many seconds after a user should be considered inactive

  • LDAP support

Floating license for Jira

License Optimizer manipulates the application access in real-time granting access to users only when it is needed. With this application, you will be able to provide Jira access for more users than your purchased license tier.

 

Multi-application access management

Manage accesses for multiple applications (Jira Core, Jira Software, Jira Service Management) at once!

 

Free up space automatically

Set up how many seconds after a user should be considered inactive. License Optimizer will revoke application access from inactive users to free up space for active users.

 

Monitor your License usage

License Monitoring provides always up-to-date information about your Jira instance usage and suggests the optional tier based on the data.

 

Test License Optimizer

You can test License Optimizer with this method:

  1. Create a new Jira Server environment or clone your existing one

  2. Purchase a 10 user License Tier Jira Software Server license and add this license to this newly created Jira

  3. Add some users to the application access so there will be only 2-3 free slots remaining.

  4. Install and Set up License Optimizer to work with the remaining 2-3 free slots.

  5. Log with several accounts and check how License Optimizer grants/revokes application access permission.
