Discovering unlicensed software

[robert mena]

Hi,

I'd like to implement a security routine where I should
find which software is installed on a given machine
(running xp,200 or 98) and if it is a illegal one.

Is there any tool that could provide me that ?

So I could retrieve an "inventory" and compare with the
purchased licences to see if anyone has been installing
illegal software ?

regards.

Aida32 can do exactly what you wish. It can run an audit across a network
and report a wide range of information on each system on the network. It
even has a hidden mode that makes the audit invisible to users. Check it out
