License Management (SAM)

Nowadays, Licence Management is one of the most costly tasks in terms of time and labour for administrators. On the one hand, companies expend efforts to avoid license violations caused by sub-licencing. On the other, they want to avoid unnecessary costs caused by over licencing.

An independent study by Deron and The Fraunhofer Institute shows that: An automatic inventory reduces the administrative expense and is profitable from 20 clients or more. The DeskCenter Management Suite provides controls and management for licenses of operating systems and applications. The Email Notification System then informs the user about installations and un-installations of software products after every system inventory.

 

 

Rule-Based Product Identification

License Management - Definition of rules for product detectionAll software products installed on the client are detected during the software inventory. Using flexible inclusion or exclusion rules for applications, file scan or OSs you can register all products in the company that have to be licensed. Freeware can be identified unambiguously and managed using this rules. This includes drivers, freeware or Windows Updates. Sub and over licensed products are highlighted in colour in the overviews.

Combination with Software Deployment

The License Management of the System Manager is a very flexible part for the Software Deployment module. With the help of the Software Deployment module, installations can be executed out of the license overview.

To use the added value of MSI packages more effectively (Install, Repair and Uninstall), the DeskCenter System Manager identifies products that were installed by the MSI by a separate entry.

License Contracts and Groups

Often there are different licenses for one application. Licence agreements can be partly limited in time. The DeskCenter System Manager meets these requirements because you can add many license contracts for each software product. The DeskCenter Management Suite supports the creation of license groups (e.g. Office 97, 2000, 2003 -> Office Select Licences).

Scanning Files

Often administrators have no influence over license violations that are made by the employees in the company. This happens if users install software products without being noticed.

The DeskCenter System Manager offers the possibility to do configurable file scans. The administrator can also scan for MP3 or video files that are not allowed or consume memory space needlessly.
