Am I missing something? Wouldn't it be better to track and document software in an asset management platform?
What value add is there to using something WP like, when you can keep all of this information in a single location?
Eh? That doesn't make sense. How does it not work well. It's build on managing articles.
So rather than software keys, and simple notes, the goal would be to use this for daily management.
That makes sense, thanks for providing a reason.
I would not use a wiki for software keys. I'd use an asset management software. WordPress and bookstack isn't for that.
However, there are probably good WordPress plugins built just for that purpose.
Deepends how many you have. Wikis work really well for that up to a certain size.
Yeah it would, especially if using tableless plugin. But even the smallest SMBs have tons of software licensing. I'd rather use Snipe
Do they? Most that I deal with have very little. Some have a lot, but far from most. Even the one I'm sitting at now with over 100,000 contractors has extremely little and is reducing it.
Even an Open Source license needs to be managed (even if minimally).
In what way? It doesn't need to be written down.
I would think the same way other licenses are managed, by having a copy of the license somewhere.
For what purpose? I mean we do have a copy of it... online with the software source. What's the purpose in recording it for every file?
Ha.. not for every file, just for the installation. As anyone can sell FOSS anyone can also attemtp to sue you for using it without buying it from them.
Simple protection.
That doesn't provide any protection. That makes no sense. You have the same protection with or without that file. And they can sue you even if you don't have the software at all.

The protection is afforded by the license. . . . Hence you should have a record of the license somewhere to immediately get any suits discarded.
Even if it is on GH.
Of course nothing would stop you from being sued, but you can quickly and without an attorney get the case thrown out by providing the license.

- The protection is not afforded by the license, it is afforded by them having no grounds to make you buy the product from them.
- The license exists already online and is there to protect you.
- The license is normally also inside the product and additionally there to protect you.
Tracking a copy of a public license does nothing for you.

Sure, but keeping it and tracking it doesn't aid in that in any way.

What gets the case thrown out is actually the suer getting in trouble for theft.

Anyways, the point here is:
Few software licenses = Wiki (wordpress/bookstack/grav/etc/etc/etc/etc/etc)
More software licenses = SnipeIT or similar software -

You'd have to actively delete it to not have it in that case. But even so, just keeping it online is fine 99.999% of the time. Any project that hasn't gone away is good. Or any that includes things like Linux that are so universal.

Simple to have a "named employee" verses say License Key 71234 n [8 13 etc etc . . . and then assign that licensed software to that employee.

I’m using GRAV for customer facing (employees) documentation. Internal for our IT is done in GitLab using their built in Wiki stuff with the rest of the code.
-
That doesn't make sense. I'd do it based on number of licenses to manage, once it becomes too gruesome to maintain on a Wiki or spreadshee, I'd go to SnipeIT.
If I did it for 4 employees, chances are they'd all be using Linux and other Free and open source software... there wouldn't be anything to put in SnipeIT.

Right, 100 licenses for one user is just as much of a pain as 1 each for 100 users. It's the number of licenses, not users, that makes it complex.

Exactly, I'm dealing with several companies like this. Some are 100% open source and have nothing to track. Others have huge numbers of users/employees but so little to track that there is still no point. Like maybe five licenses total.
