ScriptLogic Asset Manager automates the tracking of software licenses throughout your company. Proper license tracking helps you eliminate overspending on unused software, and assists in making certain that all software licenses have been paid for and are legitimate.

With Asset Manager administrators are able to eliminate excessive software licensing costs with a minimal investment that pays for itself in just several months.

Asset Manager ensures compliance with software license agreements, including those applications that are running in virtual environments. Finally, Asset Manager also provides a database to track and report on all license purchases, terms and conditions for more effective software buying decisions.

Key Benefits:

• ScriptLogic Asset Manager uses three methodologies to find the software on your network, insuring that nothing is missed. Using multiple methods for finding software dramatically increases the accuracy of the inventory information

• Asset Manager uses multiple systems for finding all of the software on your network, and can automatically identify most of it, by analyzing the ‘software DNA’ against a database of thousands of applications

• Software is too expensive to have it installed and not used. Asset Manager’s metering technology can tell you not only who has it, but who’s using it and how often.

• Over-buying is not the best audit protection strategy, but it’s often used. With over 120 pre-configured reports, Asset Manager can give you the complete picture of what you’ve licensed, installed... and what you’re using.

Key Features:

• SOFTWARE IDENTIFICATION

  •      ScriptLogic Asset Manager identifies software through Add/Remove Programs, WMI scanning and scanning for executables on the hard drive.

  •      Automatically identify thousands of software packages, including software bundles. Thousands of new packages are added every month.

  •      Unidentified software information can be uploaded to us for research, and once identified we will add the data to the Software Pattern Identification Database.

• USAGE METERING

  •     The passive metering function tracks all software usage including how often the application is launched.

  •     Passive metering can also track usage of applications that are bundled within a suite, such as Microsoft® Office, to determine if lower priced versions or bundles will suffice.

   

• AUDIT PROTECTION

  •      Enforce concurrent use license rules with Active Metering. Only allow the number of licenses you have contracted for to run concurrently.

  •      Categorize software by license type, including per user, per machine, concurrent, shareware or even freeware. Assign licenses by geographic region, department, etc. so purchased licenses are deployed where needed.

  •      Asset Manager has over 120 pre-defined reports including installed software, license compliance, usage reporting and more.

  •      Track licenses in Citrix XenApp and VMware ESX server environments. Violation of license agreements by using the same license in virtual and physical environments is common
