Microsoft Volume Licensing customers: Right-size your IT
environment and simplify software license management
The enhanced Software Usage Tracking feature in MAP 6.5 simplifies your software license management and compliance process in terms of product coverage and the ability to track devices. Use the MAP Toolkit to auto-generate Software Usage Tracker reports, which provide you with a view of your actual server usage. This information is valuable for comparing with your purchased Client Access Licenses (CAL); it is also useful for licensing "True-up" and licensing agreement renewal discussions.
- Software Usage Reports: Reports for key Microsoft server products: Windows Server, SharePoint Server, System Center Configuration Manager, Exchange Server, Forefront Endpoint Protection and SQL Server accurately assess current software usage and client access history in your environment. The Forefront Endpoint Protection (FEP) scenario measures server and client usage for the FEP product, a recent addition to the Microsoft Core Client Access License (CAL) Suite. Reduce time and administrative costs for managing your server and client access licenses (CALs) and streamline the management of your software assets with these insightful reports.
- NEW! Device Tracking: Active Devices is a new inventory scenario that allows organizations to report Windows devices that are active on the network. This information is useful in Enterprise Agreement scenarios as well as for maintaining Active Directory information for the environment.
To assist you in interpreting the Software Usage Tracker reports, a series of in-depth how-to guides are available for download. These guides provide background information about how CALs work and specific directions to help interpret the data from the MAP Software Usage Tracker reports and use the collective information for managing your software assets.
