software licenses yes, and you could probably use the contracts bit of 
it to manage DNS renewals

its not bad - you need to couple it with GLPI to get the best results I
reckon. The two products integrate at a database layer to that works
pretty easily.

I have used it for software, OS and hardware auditing pretty successfully.

I also came across it (through the SourceForge newsletter), thanks for
the heads up on combining with GLPI.

Can it be used to track also things like software licenses and DNS
domain registry?

[SLUG] PC h/w and s/w Inventory apps - OCS Inventory

2007-04-01 Thread Simon Wong
Hi all!

I just came across OCS Inventory in SF's top 30 list
(http://ocsinventory.sourceforge.net/index.php?page=features) and was
wondering if anyone had used it and hwat their thoughts were.  It looks
quite good on the surface.

Does anyone have any alternate recommendations for this type of software
(hardware and software audits of linux and Windows PCs)?
