KeyServer Fundamentals: Software Usage and Entitlement Tracking


If you’re going to effectively track software usage in the age of cloud and subscription licensing models, you need to not only make sure that your hardware is properly organized into appropriate divisions so that you can tie usage to specific locations and groups of users, but you also need to be able to track software installation and usage, or even manage software launches depending on how you are entitled to use certain products. Therefore, in our second KeyServer Fundamentals webinar — Software Usage and Entitlement Tracking — we will be taking a closer look at Programs, Products, and Policies in K2 KeyServer. During this session, we’ll cover everything you to know to track installation and usage of every software product on your network, including:
- Programs vs Products
- What’s the difference?
- Product Recognition Service (PRS)
- Manual Product Definitions
- Audit Reports
- What is installed, and where?
- Unmanaged Products
- Product Suggestions
- 6.x Logged Product
- Policies: Usage Tracking and Software Management
- Policy Types: Observe, Manage, Deny
- Policy Scope and Set-up
- License Metric and the Impact on Launch and Usage Stats
- Purchase Records
- Usage Reports
- KeyConfigure Usage Reports
- KeyReporter Usage Widgets and Reports

Jim Gribble Texas Christian UniversityUpper Management very impressed with your product and your support is above and beyond!!
Jim Davenport Corpus Christi Independent School DistrictI turned the KeyServer on two years ago and I have never had to touch it again since. It just works. The program is about as easy as it can get. Setting up the server and controlling programs was incredibly easy. I had it working with programs inside an hour.
As the internal software policeman, this makes my job a lot easier. Thanks again for all of your support! I love the stats that I can gather. Very interesting to see program usage (or lack thereof). . .
