Are you using proprietary operating systems and/or software? Open source? You could be in for a very nasty surprise. When it comes to software asset management, it is critical that you read your license agreement closely. You will most likely discover that you are responsible for any copyright violations found within the code--even if the software publisher made them.

Dispite what the hardware chip producers are telling you, multi-processor computer systems aren't such a new idea. Unfortunately for you, the potential impact on your bottom line isn't something you'll hear discussed at your local Starbucks. I think we could all agree that packing multiple processors into a computer can improve performance, but effective asset managers need to make themselves aware of the pitfalls. Quite frankly, multiple processors--whether separately configured, or nestled on a single main chip--could easily run into some hefty (and frequently nicely hidden) surcharges when it comes to licensing the operating system or software.
