An alternative and refined type of software licensing is called Inventory and Usage Software.
This method records two parameters,?‚? firstly whether software is installed and the second whether and how it is used. However, such software does not provide the ability to automatically uninstall applications, so this becomes a manual task.
Nevertheless there is potential for some cost savings by noticing when software is not used and removing it accordingly. But, most IT organizations do not have the workforce to do this, thereby rendering this function ineffective This approach may be adequate for managing relatively small numbers of desktops, but it creates management problems where there are larger populations of desktops, especially in geographically distributed environments.
