Thanks, already got a webinar with them booked in for next week. I think we're looking for something that has a software database that the vendor updates rather than something which is only able to detect based on publisher metadata on the executable and so on.
Seems there's a lot of price points out there, Express Metrix is reasonably cheap compared to, say Centennial.

Works like a champ, does everything you list, and then some. Will provide OS, hardware, and software reports. You can use it to meter application usage as well. This is one that you could use to generate your license compliance reports and (according to the software LARs, like Softchoice) MS will accept that as verification of compliance. http://www.expressmetrix.com/ Free 30 day eval for up to 25 machines: http://www.expressmetrix.com/trial/ Jonathan L.

What do you all use for this please? We're looking for something and of course you have lots of products all of which promise a lot. The sort of things we're looking to do is run regular scans of PC's to capture installed software, recognised, unrecognised software, keep track of how many instances of Package X we have installed vs. how many we have licensed.
