| Enhance the return on your software investments.
License Management Service (LMS) allows you to effectively monitor and manage your desktop and server software assets, while helping you become and remain compliant. It provides a comprehensive monthly inventory of the software installed throughout your enterprise — so you always know precisely what you own and are able to reassign unused assets.
This fully managed service begins with an intensive, totally transparent, automated audit across your entire network. The result is a complete, in-depth baseline profile of your software assets, including license compliance status (when purchasing information has been supplied). Ongoing audits help ensure that you always have a fully informed software strategy.
