For my clients I use Ilient SysAid (www.ilient.com). You can track your software (and hardware), enter how many licenses you have and compare that to what's actually installed - it even had a link for "show systems with this software installed".
I got in initially just to have hardware/software inventory but I've adapted the HelpDesk portion as well. Not "best of breed" but I like it and since my clients have less than 100 systems it's free. -----Original Message----- From: Stefan Jafs [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 28, 2008 7:58 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Software Auditing Tools I do that to but how do you keep track of all your licenses? I purchase my PC's with the OS, is the sticker on the PC acceptable proof if I get audited or do I need to keep Invoices showing that I purchased with OS? How do you keep track of CAL's, Office, Adobe etc... __________________________________________________ Stefan Jafs -----Original Message----- From: Benjamin Zachary [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 27, 2008 17:41 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Software Auditing Tools I have been using spiceworks at several locations for the past few months and it has gone pretty well. One of my clients just got contacted by the BSA and so I will be doing a full audit for them. I guess I will see how well this software really works in comparison to the BSA tools :) ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~ ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~ ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
