Addressing Privacy Concerns

Uninformed users in your organization might be concerned that software metering is an invasion of privacy. Proactive communication can prevent this misconception.

Before implementing software metering, inform your users that you are enabling this feature. Let users know that software metering ensures software license compliance in your organization. Tell them that software metering monitors only executable programs being run on their computers, not keystrokes or work activity.

For many organizations, end-user computers are business resources that must be managed and used in a manner that is consistent with the organization's policies.
