Is there a way to get a summary of the licenses held on a machine?

[michellerobbins56]

Hello

We have several computers on a network, all on windows server. Is there some software available that will check each local machine and display a summary of the microsoft licenses held on that machine (such as office or windows licenses)?

Thank you very much for any help.

You might want to check the Licensing Manager program held on the server, this should give you details on the licenses.....

Not sure if that helps

There are various software asset management packages on the market such as Centennial, etc. However, Microsoft provide one for free (Software Asset Manager) which should help you. Check out the following link...

You can also use WMI to query the PC of all installed software.

I hope you find this post helpful.
