At any point of time in your network you may be having some tons
of purchased software loaded on each of the nodes. As a network
administrator it is a daunting for you to find out whether your
organization is conforming to the software licenses for all the
purchased software. It is also imperative for you to figure out
whether all the users have installed the right (or the latest) version
of the purchased software on their nodes. Manual auditing of the
software assets is often cumbersome and inaccurate and becomes impossible
if the number of nodes in your network crosses some threshold.
Netman helps you to audit your software assets easily. You can get
a bird's eye view of all the software installed in your Network
and who has installed what by logging in to the admin screen. Also
you can set the number of licenses for each of the purchased software
and ensure you get alerted whenever the number of licenses installed
reaches a pre configured limit. This information is updated at run
time and at any point of time you are guaranteed to get the latest
software inventory for your network.
Netman also allows the administrator to categorize the various software
assets in terms of freeware/ demos/ shareware and commercial software
to ensure that alerts are not issued when network users download
and install freeware from the Internet.
Netman provides mechanism for the administrator (or the appropriate
personnel) to enter the cost information about each of the purchased
software , date of purchase and the purchase details which could
help in getting support for the software.

When the first version of NetMan was released, I installed it just because
I was asked to do it.
My understanding of NetMan was that it is a tool for the network administrator
and to help him get system information of all the computers in the LAN,
we need to install it. Read
