Hi,

Can anyone recommend a shrink-wrap program for keeping track of software licenses, serial numbers, and support info?

TIA

i found an interesting service the other day. www.intraware.com they not only allow you to track software licenses, but also set install options. the downside is that you have to buy software through them. it is worth checking out!

Regards,
Melody

Not a shrink-wrap package but if the numbers are small enough have you considered simply using Access or even (for <=65535 licenses) Excel?
It is not a complicated application after all. (1 table for Licenses, 1 for Hardware, perhaps 1 for softwaredetails and some reports)

Yes, I made one in Access. But I thought there might be something standardized out there that everyone was using but me :) Recording support info and notifying myself when maintenance is expiring for each piece is a useful part.
