Agent //free\\ - Manageengine Assetexplorer
You bought 50 licenses for Autodesk Revit. Finance says you have 50. Network scan says 45 are installed. But the Agent reveals that 5 of those 45 are rarely used, while 3 unmanaged laptops have it installed illegally. Solution: The Agent’s Software Metering shows usage frequency. You reclaim the 5 unused licenses and uninstall the 3 illegal copies, avoiding an audit penalty.
