Novell ZENworks Asset Management
Software Reconciliation
Match your inventory with your licenses. Before you can successfully manage your software licensing agreements, you need to know exactly what software is running in your organization, maintain a complete, accurate view of all your software licenses, and understand how software inventories and licensing data relate to each other. ZENworks Asset Management simplifies and automates this complex process.
Novell ZENworks® Asset Management does much more than simply inventory your software applications. It also uses sophisticated techniques to make sure your software inventory is complete, normalized and tuned for license compliance, reconciliation and reporting. For instance, software sold in bundles can be defined and tracked to align application discovery to purchasing and licensing information. This unique License View enables you to accurately track and reconcile all the software on your network.
