Abstract
An embodiment includes a method of software utilization evaluation in a managed network. The method includes receiving a software parameter for a software implemented by a managed device in a managed network. The method includes obtaining status data of the software on the device. The status data indicating whether the software is in use at the device at a time. The method includes aggregating the status data to determine a software usage of the software at the device. Responsive to the software usage being below a usage threshold, the method includes generating software management action. The usage threshold being based on the software parameter. Responsive to a state at a management device, the method includes implementing the software management action to remotely modify at least one aspect of the managed device.
