All applications will be detected precisely from a software catalog or an identification database created from the comprehensive information gained from uninstalls and hard drive scans. Different software catalogs can be used in LICENSE:ONE. Using a function within LICENSE:ONE, all of these sources are expanded to allow for the automatic detection of individual software, in-house software developments and special applications.
Comparison of detected information with that of the software catalog.
To achieve the best detection possible, all of the data from the inventory is brought together and compared with the entries in the software catalog. Licenses are detected precisely, using the combination of the uninstall data and the information found on the hard drive. This consolidation creates a clear classification, based on which all of the detected applications in asset management, license management and contract management are mapped.
Accepting detected software licenses with a single click.
The entry of licenses is often a big challenge which faces every company when carrying out an SAM project. LICENSE:ONE simplifies the acceptance of licenses and supports the license manager. Licenses are quickly entered into the license management with a single click or via simple macros.
Expansion of software catalog data.
Individual developments or self-made applications are often used for the implementation of company processes and since most of these cannot be detected by a software catalog or an identifications database, LICENSE:ONE has a function allowing for the automatic expansion of such files. All of the applications found which cannot be classified by a catalog entry, are automatically entered, allowing them to be detected automatically by all of the systems. In addition, software products can be entered directly into the software catalog and expanded.
