Product Description:

K2 is a cross-platform IT asset management (ITAM) tool for software asset management (SAM), hardware auditing, usage tracking, and software license compliance. It manages software assets for Windows, Macintosh, and thin-client computers across any global network including the management of laptop computers both inside and outside a firewall.

What's new in this version:

K2 Web Reports: Scheduled Reports & Web Console: A new report server introduces several enhancements. In addition to significantly faster performance, numerous report templates have been added to K2's extensive collection of audit, usage, licensing, and charting reports. K2's built-in report templates support hundreds of reports directly from its management console.
Rules-based Filtering for Hands-free Management: Version 6.1's discovery rules work automatically during the audit process to assign management settings to computers and programs, and to classify them into your predefined categories. K2 uses your predefined rules to choose between four program action settings (Controlled, Logged, Audited, or Ignored) and two client computer settings (Full and Basic) as each computer and program is discovered.
Role- and Scope-based Administration: In addition to a fully privileged administrator account, K2 can be configured for role- and scope-based administrative access. A single-button setting limits accounts to "Report-only" access for convenient configuration of departmental reporting accounts for anyone within your organization.
Enhanced Integration with Active Directory: K2 has long supported numerous industry-standard authentication methods (Kerberos, LDAP, Windows NT, Active Directory, SQL, and Unix to name a few). Now K2 supports nested groups when using Active Directory for group membership.
Rapid Client Deployment: K2 6.1 supports rapid, large-scale deployment of the K2 client agent through the use of Windows MSI and Macintosh Package installers. Client installers can be easily configured with site-specific options. Deployment is streamlined using common enterprise deployment tools such as Microsoft Active Directory with Group Policy Objects, Novell ZENworks, or Mac OS X Open Directory with Apple Remote Desktop.
Universal Binary Support and Dashboard Widget: All 6.1 components are Universal Binaries, supporting all functions on Intel-Macs. K2 6.1 also takes advantage of Apple's OS X Dashboard for monitoring the status and usage activity of a remote KeyServer. The Dashboard widget provides quick status monitoring of K2, plus convenient access to K2's comprehensive collection of web reports is just a mouse-click away.

KeyServer is a fantastic product. I use it to control license usage across 100 computers my computer art/communication design labs. I purchased 30 concurrent licenses of Adobe Photoshop, for example, installed the application onto a disk image which is deployed across all 100 machines, and KeyServer makes sure no more than 30 licenses are in use at any given time. Sassafras provides superlative support, and their staff is extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and friendly.
