Software Piracy in the US by the BSA

There are many advantages to having a comprehensive License Management Software solution in place:

Companies will instantaneously recognize whether they are over-licensed or under-licensed with a creditable License Management. Being under-licensed puts companies at risk and over-licensed creates additional expenses which are unnecessary. Therefore, you can immediately discontinue overage of licenses; thus saving companies huge amounts of money and reducing your annual budget costs.

Many companies purchase a bundle of licenses and have them put on all company computers. What isn't known is that many users are not using some of these software licenses and this is where license metering becomes valuable. Each license can be measured on each computer by time used and the corresponding dates. For instance, if a user is only using such a software twice a year for 20 minutes this is not a productive license and can be harvested to another user who might require this software daily. If this is not the case then the software can be discontinued. All software information can easily be accessed via report (either automatically or at will) to adjust vendor billing information.

To avoid negative scenarios with under software licensing and avoid risk; a good License Management is absolutely pertinent.

DeskCenter USA provides of the most comprehensive License Management, Metering and DNA Tools this market has to offer at affordable pricing.

New Experton-study evidences: Active license management saves up to 30% of your annual license and software costs. Gardner and Forrester reconfirm these findings.

License Details
As you are aware licenses come in a variety of packages. DeskCenter License Management clearly detects whether the license was part of a suite, has upgrade or downgrade rights, is assigned or not, has been harvested from old disposed computers, has been updated to the latest version, or is no longer required and can be discontinued. Through our license DNA application you can measure the usage, adjust minimal usage licenses and arrive at a more transparent, standardized IT environment.

File Scan
Administrators often don't have direct influence on license violations that are committed by the employees in the company. This happens if users install software products without notifying the IT staff.

With DeskCenter you can effectuate configurable file scans, either through automatic or scheduled reports. The administrator can also scan for MP3 or videos file (including file shares) that are not allowed or consume bandwidth and memory capacity.
