Computer Software Inventory

In the modern life, an average office computer is equipped with software which is 1.5-2 times more expensive than the hardware it is installed on. Misuse of this software, or illegal use of the software when the number of software installations exceeds the number of licenses the company owns could make serious problems to the business and can lead to big penalties paid to the software vendor alliances watching under the legal software use.

However, people often install different software on they work computers without paing too much attention to the licensing issue. The reason is simple: it is the business owner who is responsible for that sort of crime, not the employee. How to solve this problem?

Computer software inventory programs, such as Asset Tracker for Networks, can help you in that. A software package of this kind can collect information about each software package installed in the corporate network, compare the number of installations to the number of licenses the company actually owns and give recommendations on how to fix the problem.
