ILMT – Service by Bechtle.
We make sure that you have your IBM licenses under control.
IBM-Baseline.
The IBM baseline is a snapshot of your deployed IBM software and the existing licenses. We either take the software inventory from the IBM License Metric Tool (ILMT) of your existing software distribution tool or we install a scanning tool that prepares the data accordingly and searches your network for existing IBM software. At the same time, we create a complete and retrospective license inventory and compare it with the installed software. The resulting report, which corresponds to a compliance report (delta), gives you an overview of your under- or over-licensing, contains recommendations for remedying it and provides you with further important information about your license management.

What is the IBM License Metric Tool?
The IBM License Metric Tool (ILMT) is a free IBM software tool that helps companies manage and license their IBM software. It is specifically designed to ensure that companies meet the licensing requirements of IBM products and ensure compliance with license terms. The tool includes software inventory, license tracking and compliance, reporting and license optimization, and automated license metric calculation.
The use of the IBM License Metric Tool is mandatory for certain IBM software products. Companies using IBM software should therefore familiarize themselves with the requirements of ILMT and ensure that they implement and use the tool properly to avoid high additional charges.
Leave the operational issues relating to the management and use of your software and licences to us - so that you have more time for the essentials.
