Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for analyzing application usage on a user device and optimizing application and license distribution for user devices in an enterprise. An example system includes a management server and a data server. The management server can provide instructions to the user device to install a tracking application that gathers application-usage data using built-in functionality of the user device. The data server can receive and compile the application-usage data, creating compiled usage data. Using this compiled usage data, the management server can execute a rules engine to determine an action to take associated with at least one application on the user device, such as redistributing application licenses.
