An automated management tool for capturing application usage in heterogeneous computing environments, LicenseTrack (PC servers, from $1000; Unix systems, from $5000) lets you quickly determine software-usage trends and licensing information. The program also reports on upcoming maintenance-renewal dates and carries vendor contacts and phone numbers for each application on the network. In addition, LicenseTrack captures historical data, can report on license-usage trends, and lets you export data to spreadsheets and database applications.
