Licensing
Tracking for software compliance can be automated. The C-Forward monitoring and inventory process discovers the installed software on your machines, defines software asset groups, and tracks the associated licenses against the number of installations. For example by defining filters to include all current, and more importantly future, versions of an application in the license group, an administrator can monitor the number of licenses installed automatically, even as new versions of an application become available. This is essential for managing software license agreements including upgrades and provides flexibility for negotiating ongoing volume purchases.
