SCCM Software Metering is a powerful tool for IT asset managers and SCCM admins to track and optimize their organization’s software license usage. By collecting data on software usage, you can identify unused licenses for reclamation or justify renewals or cancellations.
How Does SCCM Software Metering Work?
SCCM collects data on which applications are launched, how often they’re used, and the duration of usage. This data helps you understand your software inventory and ensure compliance with licensing agreements.
Enabling and Configuring Software Metering Rules
To enable software metering, configure rules for key applications, review 90-day usage reports, and identify zero-usage licenses. You can then reclaim or reassign these licenses to save costs.
Interpreting Software Usage Reports
Software usage reports provide valuable insights into your organization’s software inventory. By analyzing these reports, you can identify trends and areas for improvement in your software licensing strategy.
Identifying Unused Software Licenses for Reclamation
Zero-usage licenses are a goldmine for saving costs. By identifying and reclaiming these licenses, you can optimize your organization’s software spend.
Using Metering Data to Justify License Renewals or Cancellations
Metering data can be used as evidence when justifying license renewals or cancellations. This helps ensure that your organization is using only the necessary software licenses and minimizing costs.
Conclusion
SCCM Software Metering offers valuable insights into your organization’s software usage. By enabling, configuring, and interpreting this data, you can optimize your software licensing strategy, save costs, and ensure compliance with licensing agreements.
