Novell ZENworks Asset Management

License Tracking and Compliance

Don't over-purchase or under-purchase your licenses. ZENworks® Asset Management can keep you in compliance with all your license agreements and contracts. It includes an auto-reconciliation feature that matches the products discovered on your network with the licenses you've purchased, and that's half the battle.

The other half is tracking your license entitlements and details of contracts. Software license data can come from an array of different sources, including software reseller reports, spreadsheets and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. Too often, this data is inconsistent and not normalized, making it difficult and expensive to use and manage. Novell ZENworks Asset Management addresses this challenge by providing Reseller Connectors for top software resellers and allowing you to import licensing data from any source in a text file format. Key features include:

Import licensing data from leading resellers (CompuCom, SHI, Software Spectrum and Softchoice) using reseller connectors
Reduce software reconciliation efforts by automatically building a product catalog, allowing one-time reconciliation between purchased and discovered products
Import purchase records directly
Organize products into a group for discovery and reporting as a suite

With Novell ZENworks Asset Management, not only can you manage IT contracts and automatically notify administrators of key dates associated with them, but you can also actually attach copies of those contracts directly in the ZENworks Asset Management database for easy reference. Key features include:

Manage details of IT contracts such as maintenance, lease, warranty and SLA
Monitor and notify administrator of key dates such as start, end and renewal
Associate contracts to licenses, assets, users and organizational units
Upload and attach documents to contracts
Define master lease and related lease schedules
