Our Software Metering application came as a result of a collaboration with Microsoft directly, through its local region office.

The idea behind the software application is to be a tool to support the local Anti-Piracy campaign and to promote the usage of legal software and IP rights of the software developer companies.

The tool is designed to quickly analyze the machine (Desktop computer, laptop or even server) and give a detail report of the following:

• Current installed software application (date of installation, publisher etc.)
• Windows updates and patches and their date of installation.
• The tool is also capable to find and identify previously installed software applications, with date of installation and date of un-installation.
• Global hardware analysis like MAC address, computer name etc.

The tool is designed in a way that no pre requisites are needed. It can be run from external USB drive thus not leaving any footprint whether it was run on the machine or not.

The reports are directly generated on the external drive and there is no software intervention on the target machine.

The Software Metering tool is used and promoted not only locally in Macedonia but also in the following neighboring countries: Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia & Hercegovina, Respublika Srpska, Slovenia.

In all cases and countries, the Software Metering application has proven to be successful in all their Anti-Piracy campaigns.
