Software License Compliance: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

When it comes to software license compliance, there tend to be three distinct scenarios-

"The Good"- Your IT department and your purchasing group are completely in synch, you know exactly what software is installed on every system, and you have no concerns that a software audit would uncover irregularities.

"The Bad"- You think you are in good shape regarding license compliance, you hope there are no renegade applications installed, and you’re optimistic that a software audit would not result in negative consequences.

"The Ugly"- You continuously struggle to reconcile licenses with actual users using manual methods, don’t really have a good grip of what applications may be installed, and don’t know what an audit, either internal or external, might uncover.

For most medium-sized organizations, unfortunately "The Bad" and "The Ugly" tend to be the rule of the day when it comes to ensuring accurate software license compliance. While important from a cost and liability perspective, a lack of resources often place compliance efforts low on the systems management priority list.
