Express Software Manager tracks and integrates all the data related to your hardware and software inventory, usage, entitlements, and purchases. The end result? You’ll know exactly what you have, where it resides, whether it’s properly licensed, whether you truly need it, where money is being spent.

Track and manage your Software Inventory:

• Discover and identify the software installed across your network

• Stay compliant with license agreements by uncovering unlicensed copies of installed software

• Identify what's newly installed—and potentially harmful—on your network

• Track purchasing details related to software licenses

• Maintain compliance in virtual environments by easily identifying virtual operating systems and, in Microsoft environments, their hosts

Track and manage your Software Inventory:

• Discover all the hardware deployed on Windows and Mac OS systems across your network

• Analyze machine characteristics such as processor type and speed, memory, disk space, network card address, manufacturer, serial number, and more

• Track unlimited purchasing information associated with deployed hardware such as PO details, lease numbers and expiration dates, location information, and more

• Manage the hardware refresh cycle by determining which systems needs to be upgraded or replaced

• Plan for technology migrations by evaluating PC configurations and capabilities

• Troubleshoot remote PC issues by extending machine configuration data to support staff

  Software Usage Metering

• Determine how often (and by whom) specific applications are being used

• Identify unused and underutilized licenses

• Monitor the use of unauthorized, harmful, or "nuisance" applications

• Collect detailed software usage statistics including start time, stop time, idle time, and peak usage

• Enforce software usage policies and corporate standards

  • Block the use of non-standard, harmful, or "nuisance" applications

  • Create authorization profiles based on individual, department, or organization

  • Report on launch attempts for blocked applications

  License Compliance
