Full overview of software, hardware and files AssetFocus? is a user-friendly and intuitive tool that automatically collects information on software, hardware and files from an enterprise computer network. First of all, you get an overview of who and how many has an installation of i.e. Adobe Photoshop, Access or Kazaa. AssetFocus? recognizes more than 11.000 applications and versions. Secondly, you get hardware information on for instance CPU type and speed, monitor, size of hard disk, net card, RAM memory from all computers on the network. Furthermore, you get an overview of i.e. music- and film-files on the network, where they are and their size. Software license control With AssetFocus? you can control your licenses intelligently. Via the build-in license module, you can register all vital license information, i.e. number of licenses, license keys, serial numbers, purchase dates etc. AssetFocus? documents how many installations you have per application. Thus, the system can compare the number of licenses with the number of software installations and you can generate reports. We recommend that AssetFocus? scans the network every month. The scan runs automatically via the login-script and without installations on the client?s network. The actual scan runs without interfering with the normal routine of the computer ? it is invisible ? and uses only 5-20 % of the CPU. Approved procedure AssetFocus? comes with the largest signature database recognizing more than 11.000 applications. The database is updated via the Internet. The recognition of application is done by analyzing exe-files. This is the method that BSA (Business Software Alliance) recommends. Other products typically only scan the registry database ? and this is only rarely sufficient. Hardware and file statistics AssetFocus? gives you the possibility to compare software and hardware information. For example, you can get a list of computers running Win98 and with less than 128 Mb RAM. AssetFocus? can generate file statistics from every PC. Among other things, you can see · how many JPG-, AVI-, MP3-, ZIP-files etc a user has · what size the files have · where they are The administrator decides which files to scan for and how often. Why use software license control? · You save money when you eliminate redundant licenses. · You avoid infringement on intellectual property rights · You avoid unwanted software and files · You get better security · You get quantity discounts when you know your exact license need · You get an overview of all hardware and software thereby making informed decisions easier
