The basis of license management: a software inventory
The large number of software manufacturers and software products inevitably results in complex license models that need to be taken into account in software license management. As the person responsible for correct license management in a company, it is essential to think about software asset management (SAM). It is important to compare the software used and installed on the basis of the license models of the respective manufacturers with the purchased licenses (target/actual comparison as part of software license management).
By recording and inventorying all installed software products on the respective systems, Docusnap offers an optimal data basis here.
Simple recording of licenses with intuitive wizards
With the help of intuitive license management wizards, you can quickly and easily record your purchased license agreements based on the required license model. Docusnap automatically assigns these to the inventoried software products according to common metrics. You can use manual correction values to exclude non-licensed test environments, for example.
An assignment procedure based on search words makes it very easy and efficient to combine patch and subversion versions, for example. This means that the import of a patch cannot confuse license management.
Automatic detection of under- or over-licensing
Docusnap establishes a link between the software installations and the contracts and identifies any over- or under-licensing. The software license models include all common variants, such as licensing by systems, users, processors and processor cores. Of course, upgrade and downgrade options are also taken into account. Docusnap stores all information centrally in an ITIL CMDB.
Docusnap also offers the option of monitoring unwanted software, such as games, or excluding certain systems from license management.
Output and distribution
The results of the target/actual comparison are clearly evaluated in various reports, which can be easily adapted to the desired corporate design (CD) for each client. You can easily set up a time control for the inventory as well as the evaluations. In this way, you can, for example, automatically send the results by e-mail to those responsible for ongoing IT security audits.
Integrated contract management
Contract management with a reminder function integrated into Docusnap rounds off the solution. For example, you can store license agreements digitally as PDFs in Docusnap.
