License Audit

A software licensing audit is an important sub-set of software asset management and component of corporate risk management. When a company is unaware of what software is installed and being used on its machines, it can result in multiple layers of exposure.

Usually when an IT manager is warned that there will be soon an audit on licenses, he panics because he does not know what to do.
