Shedding light on the licence jungle

Software is installed on every workstation. But which software is licensed, and which is not? What are the terms of the licence? What upgrades are possible? Who pays for them?

These questions can be answered effortlessly by using a proper licence management system. Spider Licence tracks all workstations accessible on the network to identify which software is installed. This it does either as a stand-alone solution or in connection with Spider Asset.

By comparing the licence data stored, it is easy to identify any surplus or shortfall in licences. Yet, Spider Licence can do even more than this. As it is also possible to collect information on the type of licence, upgrading to a later version can also be organized on a cost-optimized basis.

Meaningful reports provide information on workstations with non-licensed software, track the utilization of licence contracts and thus provide a decisive basis for software audits.

• License management is important for medium sized as well as for larger enterprises who wish to administrate their software in a reliable way.
• The license management program Spider License is easy to integrate into an existing architecture.
• Integration of license management with the Spider Asset asset management program optimizes software administration.
• Combination of license management with contract management in Spider Contract improves the form of contract.
