Monitor software without a license manager
Unmanaged Processes
Gain visibility into standalone and custom applications on workstations
NYBS Unmanaged Processes helps you monitor software that is not managed by a traditional license server. Track usage activity for standalone or custom applications, detect over-licensing, and improve software utilization control across your organization.
Gain visibility into software without a license manager
Many organizations rely on standalone or custom applications that are not connected to a license manager, making it difficult to understand who is using what and where optimizations are possible.
NYBS Unmanaged Processes monitors selected processes on end-user workstations so you can see usage activity, support compliance efforts, and reduce waste from unused or underused software.
Key benefits
Eliminate over-licensing with Unmanaged Processes
Cost reduction
Identify over-licensing and underused standalone software so you can reduce unnecessary spend.
Stay compliant
Use monitoring visibility and usage reporting to support compliance efforts for unmanaged software.
Improve utilization
Track activity and usage patterns to optimize software allocation and increase effective usage.
Boost productivity
Reduce software shortages and improve availability so teams spend less time waiting and more time working.
How it works
NYBS Unmanaged Processes monitors selected application processes on user workstations and makes usage information visible in a centralized interface.
1
Add the process to monitor
An admin defines the application process (for example, executable/process name) in the admin interface.
2
Collect activity from endpoints
A workstation agent reports process activity from end-user devices to the NYBS server.
3
View usage information
NYBS updates the central view and presents usage insights in dashboards and user/admin views.
Common use cases
Monitor standalone engineering or technical tools
Track custom/internal applications not connected to a license manager
Identify over-licensed software
Improve visibility before renewal decisions
Support optimization and compliance reporting
FAQ
Answers to common questions about unmanaged processes
What are unmanaged processes?
Unmanaged processes are applications that run on user devices without being controlled by a traditional license server. This can include standalone software, internally developed tools, and other applications that are difficult to track through standard license-management methods.
How does NYBS monitor unmanaged processes?
NYBS monitors selected application processes on endpoints through a workstation/endpoint agent. Admins define which processes to track, and activity data is collected and sent to the NYBS platform for reporting and analysis.
What can we learn from unmanaged process monitoring?
You can see usage frequency, activity trends, active users, and overall software demand for monitored applications. This helps identify underused tools, support optimization decisions, and improve visibility before renewals or internal software reviews.
Can unmanaged process monitoring support compliance and cost control?
Yes. While it does not replace every compliance process, it improves visibility into software usage and helps identify over-licensing, underuse, and uncontrolled software spread. This supports better cost control and stronger governance.
