Application Metering
Take Control of your Software Licensing |
|
|
|
| Use Application Metering Solution to control software usage and licensing. When used in conjunction with Inventory Solution, Application Metering Solution displays where applications are physically installed on the network and correlates which of these applications are actually being used and how often. Using this data, you can reclaim software licenses that are not being used. |
|
 |
|
| Specifically, this solution allows you to do the following: |
|
- Discover Applications that Are Run Application Metering Solution records the first time an application is started. This makes it easy to identify exactly what software (including the version) is being run on the computers of your network.
- Monitor Frequency of Application Usage You can track the number of times a particular application is run on a computer. This helps you determine whether applications are used frequently or rarely and by whom applications are used.
- Track Starting and Stopping of Applications You can track when an application is started, stopped, or both and how long an application is used. You can also be alerted when an attempt is made to start an unauthorized application or block the use of an application.
- License Harvesting Application Metering Solution integrates with Altiris Inventory Solution to identify the applications installed on computers (Inventory Solution) and which of these applications are used. This helps you reclaim (harvest) unused software licenses and put them to use elsewhere.
|
| The many features of Application Metering Solution provide data for numerous predefined reports that can help you to analyze your data. There are reports for analyzing application performance, application usage, and unauthorized usage. There are cost analysis and inventory audit reports. There are also history and trend, concurrent usage, and many other reports that provide powerful analysis of your environment. If there is not a predefined report for your needs, you can leverage the extensive data Application Metering Solution provides through custom reporting. |
