Who is this for

This document is written for anyone that is responsible for or involved with acquiring and licensing software products within an organization. It’s written for anyone who’d like to know what software they have deployed on the computers and networks that they manage and would like to be able to compare that against what they actually own (either to save money on over-licensing or to identify products that should be licensed or removed).

The solutions and practical examples that we describe herein make use of the tools and technologies in Microforge.net Enterprise Server, so this document will be more appropriate for people wanting to know how that tool can be used to analyze software licensing, identify over licensed products and ensure software license compliance.
