Snow Software Launch License Manager for Microsoft SMS & SCCM
Snow Software have launched a license management module specifically for Microsoft SMS and Microsoft SCCM customers.
Snow License Manager uses SMS or SCCM for it’s inventory source to enable tracking installed software and measuring usage.
“Snow License Manager automatically combines infrastructure information provided by Snow Inventory, Microsoft SMS® or Microsoft SCCM® with information such as software contracts, purchased licenses, ownership and prices.”
Microsoft SMS is a very popular tool but has long lacked proven Software Asset Management functionality. Microsoft bought AssetMetrix a few years ago but this has done little to improve the reputation of Microsoft SMS as a credible license management tool.
