Introduction
Application Functions

Software: Codenica Audit

 

Codenica Audit Logo - PC Audit SoftwareCodenica Audit is software that allows companies to perform remote hardware/software object audits and automatic software licensing audits of network computers. The application can scan IT resources remotely without installing agents, and it can also scan computers using a desktop scanner (USB drive computer scanning, which saves results to a file). The Codenica Audit application can be used both as a stand-alone product for auditing and, when paired with the Codenica Inventory management system, as a comprehensive system for managing a company's IT resources.

  

Remote audit and its object-oriented structure

Software audit and network PC audit.In Codenica Audit, the auditing process is divided into two stages: scanning and recognition. The first stage is responsible for collecting source data (WMI, Windows registry, scanned files) from hosts (scanned computers) to be audited. The second stage is a process of transforming source objects into inventoried objects (computers, hardware, and software). Each stage can be fully configured by the user.

  

Currently available auditing methods:

DCOM-based remote audit (agentless connection)
Computer audit with a desktop scanner (USB drive computer scanning, saving results to a file)
Manual audit (possible direct data input)

For every object detected during an audit (computer, hardware, or software), there is a recorded history going back to its creation, including any modifications. Objects can be related to other objects by establishing OEM, CAL, or affiliation relationships.

• See the user guide's "Audit" chapter »
• See a description of the object-oriented audit structure »

  

Installed agents with associated options, such as: user monitoring, remote desktop, hardware and WWW blocking, application use monitoring, etc. This will be the major feature of version 2.0.

  

Primary Functionality

Codenica Audit – primary functionalityThe Codenica Audit software for PC auditing can perform one-time or periodic audits (computer audits, software licensing audits, etc.). Once an audit is complete, the user can print the relevant list views and detailed reports or export the results to Codenica Inventory – an IT inventory management system – for further processing.

The primary functionality of the program includes:

• Software audit
• Hardware audit
• Network PC audit
• Software licensing audit
• Audit of software and CAL licenses

Company IT audit or inventory management

IT audit or IT inventoryLike any audit software, Codenica Audit works with highly dynamic data (hardware and software is detected and the data is changed, depending on the scanning configuration and the status of particular resources during each scan). For a permanent IT asset inventory (where objects are not changed automatically and are only removed from the database under the user's supervision, through an appropriate Asset Disposal Form) use the companion Codenica Inventory software.

Introduction
Object-Oriented Audit Structure

Software: Codenica Audit

 

Codenica Audit creates abstract models of relationally-linked objects, making it possible to realistically map a completed audit.

Because it uses an object-oriented structure, audit elements are not simple flat records. Instead, they permit for user interaction from anywhere within the program. Because of this, the user can call the context menu for any object to access the options available for managing it (editing, adding, and deleting relationships, etc.). It does not matter whether an object is in the Object Manager tree, in a list view, or in a detailed report. The application user can always perform an action from the context menu for a selected object.

 

User

User - PC audit softwareAn object within a network audit that represents a registered user. It is positioned at the top of the object hierarchy. It can be associated with hosts (and with computers indirectly), licenses (directly attributable to the CAL mode or indirectly to the assigned software and computers).

 

Host

Host - PC audit softwareAn object within a network audit that represents an audited computer. After scanning and recognition, it creates a computer object with detected hardware and software objects. It can be associated with licenses in auto-matching audit mode. (Licenses are automatically assigned to detected software during the recognition process.) A host is assigned to a user.

 

Computer

Computer - PC audit softwareAn object within a network audit that represents a computer recognized by means of a scanned host. It can be associated with hardware and software, licenses (directly, as an OEM- or CAL-licensed item, or indirectly, from the related software), a purchase document, and a warranty document.

 

Hardware

Hardware - PC audit softwareAn object within a network audit that represents a piece of hardware that has been detected and recognized in a scanned host. It must be a component of a computer, and it cannot exist as an independent entity. It can be associated with licenses (directly, as an OEM- or CAL-licensed item), a purchase document, and a warranty document.

 

Software

Software - PC audit softwareAn object within a network audit that represents a piece of software that has been detected and recognized in a scanned host. It must be a component of a computer, and it cannot exist as an independent entity. It can be associated with licenses (directly, as a software legalizing license or a license in the CAL mode), a purchase document, and a warranty document.

 

License

License - PC audit softwareAn object within a network audit that represents a real-world purchased user license for a piece of software (in the form of an invoice, certificate, media, etc.) or for access to server resources (a CAL license). Licenses for particular software should be assigned directly to the software. CAL licenses may be assigned to any objects that are made available as licensed resources. A license may cover any number of seats. Their use is counted automatically. A license can be associated with an object in OEM mode (computer or hardware) or with a purchase document or a warranty document.

 

Purchase Document

Purchase Document - PC audit softwareAn object in a PC inventory that represents a purchase document (e.g an invoice). Any number of objects can be assigned to such an object.

 

Warranty Document

Warranty Document - PC audit softwareAn object in a PC inventory that represents a warranty document. Any number of objects can be assigned to such an object.

 
Introduction
Cooperation between
Codenica Audit and Codenica Inventory

Software: Codenica Audit & Inventory

By using both programs (Codenica Audit + Codenica Inventory) together, it is possible to comprehensively manage a company's IT resources.

Like any audit software, Codenica Audit works with highly dynamic data (hardware and software is detected and the data is changed, depending on the scanning configuration and the status of particular resources during each scan). Therefore, it can be used to automate a recurring collection of current data, which is then sent (under the strict control of the application user) to a PC inventory database in Codenica Inventory, where it can be further processed.

See the user guide's "Audit" chapter »

Data from a performed audit is exported to the IT inventory management system in Codenica Inventory using a specially-prepared Export-to-Inventory Wizard, while Codenica Audit can fine-tune the export process with a wide range of settings.
