The 3.0 release of rxInventory adds new features for analysis and management of software assets. In a constantly changing IT environment, it is difficult to keep track of used and currently unused software licenses. A realistic needs assessment is burdensome and rarely up to date. Frequently the persons in charge do not know about the use of unlicensed software or condone it. This does not only pose legal risks, but is also a considerable cost factor.
rxInventory 3.0 offers an always current analysis of the licensing situation in a company. With the integrated license management the identified software packages are assigned to products by definable rules. Information about the addition, removal, date of purchase, expiration and price of license packs are subsequently assigned on the product level. The resulting difference between detected software and assigned licenses reliably denotes the state of licensing.
There are also other handy features in version 3.0. For example it is now possible to hide entries from the list of detected software packages, to avoid distraction by non-relevant packages. With rxInventory a list of computers, where a certain software package is installed, is only a few clicks away. This view can be inverted to show only those devices where a specific package is not installed.
Moreover, inactive or no longer existing equipment is now marked with a warning symbol. Such clients can subsequently be deleted or moved to the archive.
With rxInventory 3.0 high value was set on ease of use and clear presentation of data. This upgrade is free for all existing customers. It is strongly recommend that users of older versions upgrade to this release.
