Asset Manager Key features

• Enforce concurrent use license rules with Active Metering. Only allow the number of licenses you have contracted for to run concurrently.


• Categorize software by license type, including per user, per machine, concurrent, shareware or even freeware. Assign licenses by geographic region, department, etc. so purchased licenses are deployed where needed.
