Organizing Software CDs

beyond that we keep a gallon zip-lock bag for every box ID'd (with a Sharpie -what true techie doesn't have millions of Sharpies lying about?) in a big locking metal cabinet. and organize by office location and then department. Not too high tech, but it works.

Volume licensing really helps me BTW. Cuts WAY down on keys (only need one) media (only need one and one archived) and so I can keep them in my fancy aluminum James Bond style all-purpose tool, spare part and handy dandy PCWorld cd wallet holder briefcase. Really. Company of 300 (OK! -I know it's a small company compared to most of yours), 7 locations and a not too huge disk wallet restores almost everything including the images to get back up and logged into your files in just a few minutes. Some on here may hate and despise volume and love the retail box or OEM packs, but I'm singing "Viva la Volume!" especially when everything is tallied for me online or at worst, on one or two receipts for all the machines.
-Just mytwo cents :)

If you are attempting organisation on your own PC, best thing I have found for the database for CDs is "Ruby" organiser from www.WarpEngine.com . As far as the rest of it goes, you may need to construct yourself a database to tie it all together. I assume Ruby Organiser is in the Ruby language - you may need to watch for ability to read all languages. Ruby, by the way has a neat search engine (I can always find that programme easily - provided I scanned the disk with Ruby in the first place!)
