Novell® ZENworks® Desktop Management integrates with Novell Licensing Services to enable you to track an application's usage and comply with the application's license agreement.
Novell Licensing Services is a component of Novell NetWare® 6.x and Novell Open Enterprise Server (OES). To use Licensing Services with ZENworks, you must have a ZENworks Server installed on a NetWare 6.x server or an OES NetWare server. Novell Licensing Services also requires the Novell Client.
