Essential prerequisite for License Management is having a Software Detection tool. This has to be able to generate valid data about the installed products and versions out of the data collected by inventory.
The foundation of SBMS functionality is a rule-based product detection mechanism. The rules can be generated according to your company’s current requirements. Besides rules for single products and versions also group-related rules as for example “All Microsoft Products” can be defined.

The reported data will be completed by information regarding license type, contracts and purchase details. This results in a comprehensive reporting with respect to the "License Compliance" of your company’s IT environment.
