Abstract
A first computer system is scanned at configured, default time intervals by a software asset management ('SAM') software application installed on the first computer system, wherein the scanning detects other software applications installed on the first computer system. The SAM software application generates a list of the other software applications installed on the first computer system and stores the list on a computer readable storage medium. An override software module triggers the SAM software application to perform an early scan of the first computer system, before a scan of the first computer system that the SAM software application would otherwise perform at a next default scan time. The triggering is in response to information obtained from a source external to the first computer system about a triggering one of the software applications on the list.
