Engagent Software Metering will detect and record the start and stop of every application on every workstation, or, as illustrated below, only the applications you want to watch on the systems where you want to watch them.  

No Agents!

Engagent Software Metering does not require the deployment of agents to workstations.  It is designed to be non-intrusive, not get in the way of your users, and not bog down your network -- and it will scale to handle the needs of the largest installations.  

Robust Reports!

Engagent Software Metering provides detailed and flexible reports on how software is being used on your system.  It also gives you the option of controlling that use.  Engagent Software Metering will detect any applications you deem illegal on your network, and prevent them from launching. You can specify, for example, that no one in your domain will ever run KazaA, Morpheus, PasswordCracker or any questionable, file-sharing applications.  

Control Costs!

Engagent Software Metering can be combined with Engagent Domain Inventory and Engagent Software License Manager, to provide a unified view of what software has been purchased, what software installed, and what is in use. This coordination and integration of software license purchases with software license usage allows you to reclaim unused licenses, eliminate unused applications, lower maintenance renewal costs, and more accurately determine future software needs. This can result in a dramatically reduced cost of software ownership.
