Abstract
An example embodiment may be performed by a software application executable on a computing device and may involve communicating with a server to access records of sessions between the server and computing devices of a managed network. The managed network may contain the server and a database associated with licensed software executable on the server. The database may store the records, and the records may include network addresses of the computing devices. The example embodiment may also involve: using a set of license misuse criteria to identify, within the records, (i) a set of the sessions that meets the set of criteria and (ii) a network address of a target device involved in the set of sessions; based on the network address of the target device, identifying the target device; and storing in memory an indication identifying the target device as a potential source of misuse of the licensed software.
