Three Steps to Software License Compliance

Minimize the workload needed to achieve compliance by using the advanced discovery, recognition and reconciliation capabilities in this toolset. The process consists of the following three steps:

Software Asset Management Flowchart - three steps are: discover the network, import software asset records and reconcile, then report on the software license compliance position and get compliant

Discover the entire network and all cloud assets, then remove unwanted software
Import the MLS statement and purchase orders, then match off against recognized software
Use built in compliance reports and license or uninstall underlicensed software

The compliance process begins as soon as the implementation of network discovery, cloud discovery or the SCCM integration component is complete. Sources of software ownership evidence, including MLS statements, purchasing records, and accounting entries, are loaded into the system and normalized. Then you can automatically match off purchases against existing infrastructure and discoveries to establish the software licensing compliance position.
