  • Publication number: 20210158373
    Abstract: A system may include one or more server devices disposed within a remote network management platform. The server devices may communicate with computing devices that are disposed within a managed network. The server devices may store a representation of software programs determined as installed on each of the computing devices. The server devices may also determine, by comparing software license rights to the representation of the software programs determined to be installed on each of the computing devices, whether the managed network is in compliance with the software program license rights. The devices may additionally provide, to a client device that is disposed within the managed network, a representation of a graphical user interface that denotes whether the managed network is in compliance with the software program license rights. The graphical user interface may include a reclamation rules page.

  • Publication number: 20190102849
    Abstract: Systems and methods for a software asset management, license compliance, and reconciliation techniques are disclosed. Software licenses come in many different types, including but not limited to, subscription based licenses, geographically restricted licenses, globally available licenses, production only licenses, standard shrink wrap licenses, network concurrent usage licenses, etc. With fewer applications being installed directly onto end-users machines, tools that only scan local networks and search hard drives are becoming less effective. Disclosed techniques introduce additional capabilities for software asset discovery, tracking, license allocation, and other functions as part of a comprehensive software asset reconciliation engine.
