Snow License Manager

Snow License Manager is used in our organization for four main purposes: to determine which applications are run and where on 35,000+ computers running Windows, iOS or Linux, to alert responsible individuals to application license expiry and warn of impending and current compliance issues, to assist purchase planning and department software requests , and to identify and harvest unused licenses for reuse elsewhere according the the licensing terms. Before Snow License Manager was deployed in our organization, each branch managed software according to its own capability. There was no comprehensive, holistic application contributing to the awareness of licensing issues. Although each branch did its best, no one really knew the software estate's size, value or deployment. Where permissible by the licenses, there was still little sharing of licenses between international branches, which led in some cases to over-purchasing. Another issue was identifying unwanted and insecure applications. Also many varied applications doing basically the same thing had been deployed. Using Snow License Manager and carefully examining the use cases, the number of different applications used could be reduced. This simplified software asset management. The small footprint of the Snow Agent Manager permits deployment even in the most demanding computing environments.

We use Snow License Manager to monitor our license positions and keep track of obsolete licenses, to search for hardware specifications, to see who is using which hardware and how often applications are being used. It is a major tool for us to discuss the used licenses and the need for end users to use specific licenses.

Snow License Manager (SLM) is used as a tool in our Software Asset Management function. It allows us to obtain a compliance position, and report on licenses, installations and users of software on end-user devices and servers. The license intelligence applied with this solution saves great deal of time when handling applications and their licenses, as the correct metrics will nearly always be automatically selected for a specific product. SLM has a wealth of reports that we regularly use, it's also a useful tool for audit against our CMDB, to confirm hardware configurations.
