Any recommendations for programs that will keep track of software licenses?

For myself, I put that in a sandbox called IT asset management. A full time job all by itself.

We use three products, depending on the network scope.

One is Microsoft SMS 2003 & the other is Managesoft. Both do an excellent job.

In smaller shops, say up to a hundred nodes we've found Tally Systems very well, allthough will not do deploys or monitor useage.

I hope this helps.

Sorry no recommendations, but here's some I've tried/used

OCS -
http://ocsinventory.sourceforge.net - I toyed with this but was never brave enough to deploy in a production environment.

Visual Audit Pro - http://www.visionsoft.com/vap.asp - I deployed this but dropped it in favour of manual audits.

MSIA - http://www.microsoft.com/resources/sam/msia.mspx - I still use this to compliment manual audits.
