Software represents a significant cost burden to the enterprise in terms of purchase,
maintenance and management. To accurately compare discovered software against captured license entitlements, you need
Centennial License Manager, the key to effective software asset management and license compliance.
Centennial License Manager is a web-based software license compliance solution that integrates seamlessly
with Centennial Discovery to enable organizations to quickly achieve and maintain an accurate desktop software
licensing position.
License Manager dramatically simplifies the traditionally-complex task of capturing license entitlement
information, matching discovered software against vendor SKUs and finally reconciling installed software against licenses held.
License Manager benefits:

location, licensing position and usage of your software assets installed on your network.
- Drive down costs – prevent unnecessary purchases or inflated maintenance agreements by accurately reconciling usage against entitlement.
