Automated real time software asset management

Parago PC Discovery and SAM is an automated software tool that will automatically discover the full specification of your PC, laptop or Mac plus all the installed software. Once discovered, the system will enable you to chose how often you want the system to rescan each PC and notify you of any changes. Because Parago is an internet system alerts can be sent via the network or when the PC is connected to the internet, enabling the system administrator to monitor PCs even when they are off site. You can then select which software titles you wish to license manage and meter usage of within the Software License Manager.

The Parago PC Discovery and SAM system includes all the benefits of the Parago central system as detailed in the key advantages and videos at the bottom of the page.
