Strategic License Management - Maximizing the Return on Your Software Investment

by Flexera Software (June 28, 2010)

Managing software effectively means treating it as a high-value business asset.

Until recently, effective software asset management tools that streamline management and prevent misuse have not been available. The resulting lack of visibility into how, when and by whom software is being used causes enterprises to over-license some applications and under-license others.

To help IT managers navigate through the software licensing maze, Flexera Software is offering this guide to the business and IT communities. It includes a five-step implementation plan and management tool selection criteria designed to help managers maximize the value of their software assets. With an effective license management strategy in place, managers will be able to:

  • Increase productivity through global license sharing/pooling
  • Optimize IT spending with usage-based purchasing
  • Simplify license administration by centralizing licensing operations
