Environment

Novell ZENworks 7 Asset Management - ZAM7
Novell ZENworks 7.5 Asset Management - ZAM7.5

Situation

Many of our customers use tools from Autodesk and they have requested that we identify Network License installs for common CAD applications. Well, beginning with this month's Knowledgebase (PRU) update, ZENworks Asset Management will distinguish between installations that indicate a Network License install versus other types of installations.

Resolution

Recognition added in May 2007 PRU.
Autodesk fingerprints will capture the 'network license' copies of Autodesk products. Currently, we simply report the existence of Autodesk programs. With these new fingerprints, we will be able to distinguish which ones are 'network license' copies. The product names will show up like this, for example: AutoCAD 2004 (Network License).
