Scope of Software License Management System Final Year Project

License Tracking: Monitor and manage software licenses across an organization.
Compliance Management: Ensure compliance with software licensing agreements and avoid legal issues.
Cost Optimization: Optimize software usage to reduce unnecessary licensing costs.
Reporting and Analytics: Generate reports and insights on software usage, compliance, and licensing costs.

License Inventory: Database for storing information on all software licenses, including purchase details, renewal dates, and usage rights.
Software Discovery: Tools to identify and record installed software on various devices within the organization.
Compliance Engine: Algorithms and processes for checking compliance with licensing agreements.
User Interface: Dashboards and web applications for managing licenses, viewing reports, and handling alerts.
Notification System: Alerts for upcoming renewals, compliance issues, or unauthorized installations.

Centralized License Repository: Maintain a central database of all software licenses and their details.
Automated Discovery: Detect installed software and match it against the license database.
Compliance Monitoring: Track software usage and compare it with licensing agreements to ensure compliance.
License Usage Analytics: Analyze software usage patterns to optimize licensing and identify underutilized or unused software.
Alerts and Notifications: Notify administrators of expiring licenses, compliance breaches, or other important events.
Reporting: Generate detailed reports on software inventory, compliance status, license utilization, and costs.
Role-Based Access: Implement different access levels for users, administrators, and auditors.

Database: Relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL) for storing license information and software inventory.
Backend Development: Server-side frameworks (e.g., Django, Flask, Node.js) for handling data processing and business logic.
Frontend Development: Frameworks for creating user interfaces (e.g., React, Angular) for dashboards and management tools.
Software Discovery: Tools and libraries for discovering installed software (e.g., system APIs, network scanning tools).
Reporting and Visualization: Libraries for generating reports and visualizations (e.g., Chart.js, D3.js).

Research and Design: Analyze existing software license management solutions, design the system architecture, and choose appropriate technologies.
Development: Build and integrate components for license inventory, software discovery, compliance monitoring, and reporting.
Testing: Conduct unit tests, integration tests, and system tests to ensure functionality, reliability, and accuracy.
Deployment: Deploy the system in a test environment or on a cloud platform (e.g., AWS, Azure) and monitor its performance.
Evaluation: Assess system performance, gather feedback from users, and make necessary adjustments.

Data Integration: Integrating with various systems and software to collect accurate license and usage data.
Compliance Complexity: Handling the complexity of different licensing models and agreements.
Scalability: Ensuring the system can scale to handle large volumes of software licenses and users.
User Adoption: Designing an intuitive interface and workflow to encourage user adoption and minimize resistance.

AI and Machine Learning: Implement AI algorithms to predict software usage patterns and optimize license allocation.
Integration with ITSM Systems: Integrate with IT Service Management (ITSM) systems for a more comprehensive IT asset management solution.
Cloud Licensing Support: Extend support for managing cloud-based software licenses and subscriptions.
Mobile Access: Develop mobile apps for on-the-go license management and monitoring.

Technical Documentation: Provide detailed descriptions of system components, architecture, data models, and integration points.
User Manual: Offer instructions for system administrators and end-users on how to use the system and manage licenses.
Final Report: Summarize the project’s objectives, design, implementation, results, challenges, and recommendations for future improvements.
