Recently been given the task of tracking down what licenses we have for our current software. Unfortunately no-one has kept a log of what has been loaded onto where in the past and many of the hardcopies have since been 'misplaced'.

Is there anyprogram that is able to 'sniff' out what has been loaded onto a PC or Server. In light of Microsofts 31st July deadline, beginning to panic ever so slightly.

Microsoft has a tool that you can download from them that will help you track MS products.

There are also links to tools at the Business Software Alliance web site www.bsa.org

If you are concerned about an actual audit, remember, that you not only need correct licenses on each PC for each program, you also need the hard copy license for each.
