Features
license balance
The license balance as a central license management dashboard in Asset.Desk gives you a complete overview of the assigned licenses at all times and shows where no license has yet been assigned and whether there are still enough free licenses available. Software over- or under-licensing is a thing of the past in your company. The system makes it possible to assign purchased licenses to individual devices, users or even processors in a largely automated manner. In addition, licenses can always be assigned manually. All major license models (single, volume or company license, CAL, OEM, data center and many more) are mapped. Upgrade and downgrade rights, software metrics (e.g. computer or named user) and properties such as test licenses, backup licenses, bundle licenses or licenses with second use rights can be set in the license. Optional are with the Asset.Desk LicenseMaster Edition virtualized environments, cloud environments (Office 365, Adobe Creative Cloud, Google Workspace), office IT and data centers can be easily managed in terms of license.
