It lets you know at any time which software is installed on your machine asset, and to produce detailed reports, both of installed products, as well as of the usage that is made of them. The new version 7 of KeyServer integrates a purchase database which allows updated management of associated rights.

K2 is an award-winning IT asset management software suite that integrates hardware and software audit information with purchasing history, usage tracking and active license management to give you an overview and better control of your assets.

It not only reports what is installed on physical and virtual computers, but also tracks off-line usage connected to the LAN for detailed analysis and synthesis in many reports. K2 provides you with the data and automated management required to document and maintain compliance while making efficient use of IT resources and software budget.
K2 integrates company-wide software and critical hardware auditing with KeyServer "Policy" feature based on licensing management services. The KeyAuditor service automatically creates an audit information inventory for desktops, laptops and virtual PCs through a progressive and transparent self-discovery protocol.
An extensive customizable report library provides an integrated view of software and hardware compliance, software and licensing usage patterns across your entire software and hardware portfolio. K2 provides seamless management of desktops, laptops, and virtual machines running Windows, Macintosh, Linux, and Solaris operating systems.
The dedicated and integrated reporting server allows you to schedule the execution of periodic management reports. The reports are then searchable via any browser with free or authenticated access.
For each software, K2 lets you define a license policy that will track and control its use. These policies can be configured to automate license compliance for "per system" locked single licenses, site licenses, "floating" licenses and leased licenses.
K2's unique architecture is based on a dedicated server process using its own highly optimized network protocol. By avoiding inefficiencies related to using a general-purpose database, the unique KeyServer K2 process is sized to handle tens of thousands of client computers.
K2 will enforce licensing compliance and usage tracking policies for virtualized environments and physical computers. The Administration and Reporting Console gives you a global view because licensing policies are administered transparently in both physical and virtual computing environments.

"Scratch space": 100 MB (minimum) - 1 GB or more may be required if a report containing all data of 10,000 items (for example) is to be edited.
Remote Desktop Server = Can be configured to use a single copy of the KeyAccess client software for all client remote desktop connections.
"Scratch space": 1 GB or more may be required if a report containing all data of 10,000 items (for example) is to be edited.
No database service is required. KeyServer uses UDB 19283 port for client connections and admin. KeyConfigure, KeyReporter and ksODBC use TCP on the same port. The KeyShadow process uses port 19315 and regularly pings KeyServer.
Disk space: 20 MB + 4 GB (6-month data storage for 1,000 clients) - is an estimate of space required to store data. To avoid an infinite increase in data size, you can delete or archive old records (after a chosen period of 1 or 2 years for example). You can also configure a data export to another data server with "infinite" storage space.

KeyReporter is installed by default with KeyServer. However, it can be installed separately on another machine, but its functionality will be reduced. The default configuration uses TCP port 80, so unless you change it, it can not be installed on a computer hosting a web server.
