How do you keep track of licenses?

Most of our stuff is FlexLM.

Anyone used Snipe-IT? Saw @scottalanmiller install tutorial and it seems interesting.

No but we are thinking about using it.

We use SpiceWorks.

We use Mike. He sits like 10 feet from me and does most of our licensing.

I use snipe .......... well did until I delete the wrong VM! lucky there wasn't much on there so I can rebuild slowly.

See my other thread from Yesterday

But Snipe did seem a good solution for Asset tracking along with Licenses.

Curious as what license management/tracking software others use.

Snipe-IT (https://snipeitapp.com/)

Open source, can run on Linux, easy installer. You basically create a license and check that out either

to an asset (Windows or SQL Server Server licenses for example) or
to a user (I'm using that for CALs and user bound non-MS licenses)

There are some minor flaws, but it's in active development.

I'm slowing switching everything over to snipe-it. How about 200 assets and 100 licenses in it so far. Much happier then the previous method.
