Just installed one on my machine, there bloody good arent they

Not really sure why i installed it though but could come in handy one day

 

We use tools like that to monitor software usage for software license management at work.

Best tool we ever found was "boss everywhere" but now all the spyware progs pick it up as spyware so we cant use it!

 

How do you use a keylogger to monitor software usage?? Surely audit tools work better.

 

Audit tools have only just started to monitor software usage. We use our own database tools at work and use the keyloggers to extract the raw information.

 

Ok, fair enough, whatever works for you. We've used 2 audit tools for 4 years. We have FAST inspection later this year which we'll pass as we went mad making sure all our licensing info was up to date. We don't really want to lose our director as he's a top bloke.

 

What tools are you using?

Our main inventory tool we use is Peregrines PDI - definately the most customisable tool we've ever found!

FAST inspections are a pain in the arse! Thats when our clients panic and all the techinical issues start flooding in! lol
