Software Metering — The Key to Cost Savings.
Express Meter is a software metering solution that lets you track and manage software usage so you can avoid purchasing and supporting applications that aren't being used, and prevent the use of unauthorized programs. With Express Meter, you can track software usage to determine how frequently your applications are being used, for how long, and by whom. Built-in application control gives you the additional ability to restrict access to applications you don't want running in your environment.
Express Meter is sold as a standalone product, and as a component of the Express Software Manager suite. For an overview of all Express Metrix products, see our product comparison chart.
