Licensing 7

[cammy]

Hi

Firstly, I don't know into which area this query falls.

I have recently taken over IT Support in a small company (~20 people) and I am trying to make a log of licences which we currently have for various software packages. As noone has been in charge of this area previously, the software has been installed and licenced on an ad hoc basis.

When someone requested that Powerpoint be installed on their machine, I was faced with the fact that I would have to remove Office XP Small Business and install Office XP Pro, but I have no way of knowing if we have sufficient licences for this to happen.

Basically, is there any way of finding out the licencing situation from Microsoft or from the machines.

Thanks

Cam

To chrysw; Novell audits, but usually centrally. GroupWise can be installed on as many computers as you like since it's licensed per mailbox. Your IT guys will have to deal with it. I don't know of any Novell products which are licensed per-workstation or per-installation.
