Software audit in accordance with ISO/IEC 19770 is a process of assessing and verifying compliance with the requirements of this standard. ISO/IEC 19770 is an international standard that defines practices for the management and audit of software. This standard focuses on the identification, management, and monitoring of software within an organization.

3. Compliance Assessment: The audit checks whether the organization complies with legal requirements and principles related to software, including licenses, usage policies, security policies, and other agreements.
4. Detection of Non-compliance and Risks: The software audit aims to identify potential non-compliance, license violations, unauthorized software, or other threats associated with software.
5. Improvement of Software Management: The audit provides the organization with feedback and recommendations for improving software management, including purchase processes, implementation, tracking, and removal of software.

A rich public database of application and package patterns allows for quick software recognition. The software also automatically identifies licensing models and calculates the appropriate Core Factor coefficients according to Microsoft licensing documentation. It provides support for MS SQL Server: Express Edition, Standard, Enterprise, Developer, allowing for the management of traditional licensing, Server+CAL, per Processor/Core.
