Sassafras Software was an early pioneer in the development of software license compliance technology for desktop computers beginning in 1989. We have been providing IT asset management solutions since our first public release of KeyServer in 1990. Sassafras enjoys broad support from software publishers, including many technical partners that rely exclusively on KeyServer technology. For nearly 20 years, our products have supported Software Asset Management (SAM) activities on some of the largest computer networks worldwide.
As a leader in licensing technology, Sassafras Software is an active participant in several industry forums that promote the dialog between SAM administrators, compliance officers, software publishers, licensing service providers, and industry associations. We have presented software licensing issues for discussion at many industry and educational forums including SWAMI (Gartner Group), SIIA (SPA), IBSMA SAM Summit, IBSMA Software Licensing Practices Committee, IAITAM Annual Conference, NSBA, JPSA (Tokyo), MITI (Tokyo), and in numerous others.
