Overview

baramundi License Management is a comprehensive solution designed to eliminate the need for cumbersome lists and spreadsheets by automating the tracking of software license costs, usage, and compliance. This module automatically documents all installed software and compares the results with stored license information. Clear and simple reports help quickly identify over- or under-coverage to optimize software costs, ensure compliance, and document status in the event of an audit. The License Management module also improves security by identifying unauthorized, user-installed “shadow IT” software.
