Abstract

A device (30) at a site (14) includes and agent (100) with a software inventory service (220). The software inventory service scans the device for file names (410). The file names and information associated with the file names, such as a size (422), a date (420) and a platfrom (424) are communicated to an operations center (12) for processing. At the operations center, the file names are assocaited with descriptions (430), manufacturers (432), languages (422) and application/suite names (440) and stored in a repository (172). Once the file names are stored in the repository (172). Once the file names are stored in the repository, the devices may be linked to the applcations and file names in the repository which are installed on the device. A software inventory module (154) at the operations center supports the association of software on devices to the central repository at the operatons center. The software inventory module also supports an assocation of sofware on devices to licenses maintained at the operations center for license compliance analysis and may disable unlicensed software on the devices.
