With immediate effect you are able to create customized licence metrics – you define which license models you want to display! - Change history
Get an overview at what time which license has been added, deleted or changed on which device and by which user. - New marks
You can determine which license is a “test license“, “backup license“ or if a license has a “secondary use right“. It is also possible to mark “bundle licenses“. - License allocation via Active Directory
Evaluate the required licenses via your Active Directory groups. It’s your choice whether the employees or devices of one group are used for this process. - Automatic determination of requirements
Asset.Desk checks automatically if a license is still valid or not. Thus you can see directly if you are under-licensed in the license overview of the Asset.Desk Manager. - Individual license entry
Besides the present data fields of a license entry, it is now possible to save other, individual information in user-defined data fields. - Automatic internal invoicing of license costs
Together with the module “Internal Invoicing” Asset.Desk is now able to set off license cost on the basis of fixed license flat rates with cost centres. - Evaluation of licenses after regionsWith version 8.0 it is possible to assign one region to every company code in Asset.Desk. Therefore you can see how many licenses are used in which region.
And the best: Asset.Desk 8 will be verified by the KPMG – you will be on the safe side when your next license audit is announced!
