[Shu-cdromlan] Re: Metering software

[Burke, Patricia]

Tracey,
     We are using a package called WRQ Express Meter.  It tracks software
use for licensing purposes for campus wide software (like Bible Works) and
for CDTower titles where we only have 2 to 5 licenses.  You can find reviews
of this software on Yahoo by searching WRQ Express Meter.  And the company
web site is http://www.expressmetrix.com/main/products.asp
Hope this helps with your search.

Subject: Metering software


We want to track our usage of several databases that run under Folio on an
NT server.  At the moment all of the data is copied to the server.  We
want to know how much each product is used and by whom in our
organization.  We are also thinking of networking about a dozen other low
use products (using a tower) so license compliance will also be an issue.

I tried to do some research on this but did not find anything recent --
hot topic in the mid-nineties!

Does anyone have any recommendations?
