New FrontRange License Manager 3.1 Helps Organizations Better Manage Volume License Agreements to Improve Software Asset Management ROI

Drive out unnecessary costs and ease the management of volume licensing schemes
across multiple vendors
PLEASANTON, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
FrontRange Solutions, a developer of Infrastructure Management and Software
Asset Management (SAM) solutions today announced the launch of FrontRange
License Manager 3.1 (formerly Centennial License Manager), which introduces the
ability to help organizations better manage their Microsoft Enterprise
Agreements and other volume licensing arrangements.

For organizations that actively use Microsoft SMS 2003, FrontRange License
Manager 3.1 includes a new data collector that can take software audit
information from the ubiquitous systems management tool. The integration between
License Manager and its default software audit source, FrontRange Discovery, has
also been enhanced.

Matt Fisher, Director of Marketing at FrontRange Solutions, commented: "With
software budgets at best static, organizations need to focus on how they can
better manage the software on their networks. License Manager is designed to
help organizations drive out unnecessary costs by giving both IT and financial
stakeholders the visibility and control needed to eliminate rogue purchasing,
poor deployment practices and ineffective management of volume license
agreements."

FrontRange License Manager 3.1 also features a new bulk data import tool, which
can take licensing information from multiple vendors and contracts, and load
this into the license repository automatically, presenting a significant
administrative saving to the end user organization.

FrontRange License Manager is an integral part of the FrontRange SAM Suite
solution, which comprises FrontRange SAM Essentials for project management,
FrontRange Discovery for audit, FrontRange License Manager for license recording
and reconciliation, and NetInstall for packaging and deploying applications onto
the network.

Alongside the core development of the FrontRange License Manager solution,
FrontRange Solutions has also enhanced the unique `Nexus` hosted license
database, which automatically validates the licensing information entered by end
users (normalizing data where appropriate to ensure consistency and reduce
discrepancies between customer and vendor license information). The Nexus now
features nearly one million titles from vendors such as Microsoft, Symantec, CA,
McAfee, Novell, Autodesk and Adobe.

An upgrade to FrontRange License Manager 3.1 is available to all supported
License Manager and SAM Suite customers at no additional cost. For more
information or pricing, contact your local FrontRange sales office or channel
partner.
