License Tracking

End users install software themselves, share software with colleagues and download files from the Internet.Combine this with decentralization, multiple software versions and varying types of license agreements, tracking software license compliance can become a nightmare. With ServiceDesk Plus, track all the software across your organisation and find out deployed unlicensed software.

Software Licensing

Knowing the number of copies of a software that are installed across your organisation versus the number of copies you have purchased are the two vital points needed for software license optimization.Combined with this, a knowledge about whether the software installations are growing or shrinking and whether your end users are becoming more or less dependent on a particular software can help you a lot in optimizing your software purchases. ServiceDesk Plus discovers and lists all the instances of a particular software across your enterprise.

Software Licenses

Re-use Unused

Most of the time, a person involved in some specific work may need a software for some amount of time. Once her work is finished, the software lies unutilized in her machine. Using ServiceDesk Plus, redeem such unused software now & redeploy it in machines where required. You can cut costs by reusing such licenses and not buying new ones.
