Network License Reporting (NLR) enables organisations to centrally report and inventory the state of computer hardware and software licensing across the enterprise. Unlike many solutions available which just report Microsoft license details, NLR reports license details from hundreds of vendors.
Hardware information, such as the vendor serial number, model name, network adapter information, warranty state and logical disk configuration is also displayed.
NLR comprises of two components. The first component is a central server providing reporting functionality. The second is a service which checks client computers for hardware and software information, reporting back to the license server.
