License Manager
This simplifies the task of managing software assets and licenses, with a single solution for discovering software on the network, recording and validating license entitlements, and creating a dynamic best-fit reconciliation.
License Manager Benefits:
- Drive down costs – prevent over-payments, unnecessary purchases or inflated maintenance agreements by accurately reconciling usage against entitlement.

- Optimize utilization of available assets – track software usage, patch status, location and licensing conditions to make full use of all available software
- Improve IT governance – manage the complete lifecycle of software assets, from procurement to disposal
