AssetStudio™ License Management
License Management and Compliance has been designed to simplify a very complex discipline. Again, this is made possible due to the real time access to functions and information in AssetStudio™. With the
ability to import Microsoft Claret reports and automatically reconcile the license information, for example, to account for Software Assurance (upgrade & downgrade rights) the end result is an accurate license entitlement.
This quality information, coupled with the ability to assign software licenses to installed software, provides a real-time Effective License Position (ELP) at all levels including: organisation, vendor, product and entitlement. Even more generic license challenges like Microsoft Client Access Licenses (CALs) and Citrix, Terminal Services are accommodated. The ability to pre-allocate licenses means the flexibility needed in the ‘day to day’ administration is there.

Microsoft SQL / Server Applications
AssetStudio™ can derive critical information from Microsoft server applications such as SQL, Exchange and ISA including the installed version and edition. Combine this with the extended processor information and the ability to determine whether a server is physical or virtual, an accurate licensing position can be achieved in this normally problematic area.
