They don't work well for accuracy, but for reporting Microsoft licenses to Microsoft, as long as they are inaccurate in your favor, hey, you're using a Microsoft product so they can't complain. We recently purchased a normalization suite, Provance. I have no feedback except that Procurement won't be asking me for licensing reports anymore, it's on their side of the fence now. It uses SCCM data. I have an Office SQL query that I stole from Marcum and edited a bit. It essentially already has the list of odd product names figured in. Since he's in the thread, let's see if he has a later version of that report otherwise I'll shoot you my revision.

I don't have any custom reports, I am just running the basic report on all software then finding the typical (Visio and Project). I have 2 issues that I am wondering how most admins deal with this. 1. Old data - if the software was installed on a machine and has been repurposed or decommissioned the data is still In the data base, so how to you filter out what is really accurate and what is old data? 2. Microsoft feels the need to name the same product a few different ways (Microsoft Office Visio 2010, Microsoft Visio 2010) but it seems the machines are the same in both reports, which tells me it's just a naming thing. I think my best interest is maybe finding a custom report that will give me this info. So I ask, how do you deal with software true-up reports?
