S/W License Management

[Haarsma, Michael (SAPOL)]

Evan,
I don't know how big your company is, but ZENworks Asset Management
(ZAM)[1] is very good, I know of a large number of big clients that are
using this, and several more that are deploying it.
 
It runs on Windows (boo hiss) configured/used via a web interface, and
has agents for Windows and Linux.
Works very well, very network and client efficent.

Alternativley, spend the money you would on an asset/software management
system, and put it towards an OSS migration.. :)
