    Software Licensing

    I'm thinking about expanding my 'skill set' and becoming one of those Nazi's that specialise in proper licensing of software. Apart from knowing the pros/cons of a few apps that scan PC's for installations of porno screesavers, and having a rough idea of the licensing schemes available from the major players, does anyone have any pointers as to what else I might need in order to wreak misery throughout the land?

    I've had a look on job boards that seem to imply a number of years experience over qualifications (maybe there aren't any? have yet to find a certification path), but what's the best route for starting out? I'm currently in a lucky position to pick up some experience as I'm 'working' in Local Government for an asset management team where I can use my ultra-nosey powers to the max.

    Any suggestions (preferably useful ones!) gratefully received.

    Cheers peeps

    If you're looking for qualifications, ITIL Configuration Manager's sort out/manage software licences - you'll need practitioner tho...

      Forget all that. Just write the killer app, "Net pervert" - like Net Nanny but in reverse, silently finds all the best porn available and filters out all the other rubbish that clutters up the internet.
