How do you keep track of licenses?
-
I think that using Excel (or your spreadsheet of choice) often works well. Sometimes simple is the best answer.

Yep .. this is what we use ... works well, if you simply want to keep track of a licenses ..

I've seen a lot of places just throw all their licensed media in a box and shuffle it like a bingo drum XD

Most of our stuff is FlexLM.

Anyone used Snipe-IT? Saw @scottalanmiller install tutorial and it seems interesting.

I set it up also but have not really started using it.

We use SpiceWorks.

We use Mike. He sits like 10 feet from me and does most of our licensing.

I use snipe .......... well did until I delete the wrong VM! lucky there wasn't much on there so I can rebuild slowly.

See my other thread from Yesterday
But Snipe did seem a good solution for Asset tracking along with Licenses.

Curious as what license management/tracking software others use.
Snipe-IT (https://snipeitapp.com/)
Open source, can run on Linux, easy installer. You basically create a license and check that out either
- to an asset (Windows or SQL Server Server licenses for example) or
- to a user (I'm using that for CALs and user bound non-MS licenses)
There are some minor flaws, but it's in active development.

I'm slowing switching everything over to snipe-it. How about 200 assets and 100 licenses in it so far. Much happier then the previous method.
