EAM License Cost per Asset at 99% share of licensed assets actively managed: a worked example

Push share of licensed assets actively managed up to 99% and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. a maintenance or asset-management team needs to compare license tiers, allocate software cost to sites, or budget EAM expansion for a EAM licensing plan

The inputs for this scenario

  • Assets covered by the EAM license: 4,800 assets (unchanged)
  • Annual EAM license rate per asset: 22 $ / asset-yr (unchanged)
  • Share of licensed assets actively managed: 99 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 88)
  • Fixed platform, integration, and admin cost: 54,000 $ (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Variable EAM license cost per asset = assets covered by EAM license × annual EAM license cost per asset × licensed assets actively managed) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 158,544 $ for total eam license cost per asset, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 33.03 $ / piece for annual eam license cost per asset.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 104,544 $ for variable eam license cost per asset.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 54,000 $ for fixed platform, integration, and admin cost.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where share of licensed assets actively managed sits at 88% and the headline result is 146,928 $, this scenario comes in 7.91% above the baseline at 158,544 $.
  • It computes utilization-adjusted variable license cost (assets x rate x active share) and adds fixed platform overhead to give total annual EAM cost. The value of this scenario is the size of the gap it exposes: that gap, priced out over a year, is the budget you can justify spending to close it.
