License Manager makes it easy to address the key areas of software management:

1. Import and filter discovered software

Unlike other solutions, License Manager automatically imports discovered software data without the need for additional data filtering and cleansing tools. Thanks to its seamless integration with Centennial Discovery, License Manager only imports the software titles that need to be managed and automatically ensures that new discovery data is updated on a regular, scheduled basis.

2. “Proof of Entitlement” capture

Authorised data entry users can quickly add new software purchases to License Manager through a structured web interface. All important information, such as vendor, purchase order, license quantity, cost, and both vendor and reseller SKU's are captured. Proof of Entitlement documents can be attached to each record for future reference and audit purposes.

For printed documents, License Manager features a unique scanner wizard which automatically scans the appropriate document and attaches it to the entitlement record.

3. Report on license compliance status

Once Proof of Entitlement documents have been entered and the License Manager database is populated with the latest discovered data, authorised users can quickly reconcile entitlement against usage. License Manager will highlight over-licensing and under-licensing, as well as automatically calculating upgrade and downgrade rights.

4. Match entitlement with known vendor software

A key differentiation for License Manager is its ability to automatically match entries on entitlement records with known software titles. In most cases this will remove the need for the user to manually collate entitlement records with vendor software catalogs.
