How does the SMS application know how many licenses were purchased for a
particular product so it can do a comparison?

The License Reporting that is provided on SP3 will allow to inveonty the
asset of Microsoft Sofrware like said on the SP3 Documentation.

License Reporting: New reports enable comparison of Microsoft
applications
installed with licenses purchased as well as how those titles were
obtained
(for example: volume licensing, retail, or OEM) for better optimization
of
software use across the organization and fewer unutilized applications.

Thanks, Garth. So "out of the box" SMS SP3 has no capability to
leverge any
of the LIcense Management Reports unless a 3rd party product has been
installed? Do you know where the documentation for this is located or
a list
of reccommended 3rd part products to purchase?

There is no place within SMS to input the number of lic. you have
purchased.
You would need to purchase a 3rd party program to do that like SMS

I see that many new licensing reports have been added and the
ability to
report on thousands of new applications but I'm still confused as
to how
we
would report on license compliance. Where would one go to input
the
number
of licenses purchased for a particular product so that figure could
be
compared against a SMS software metering report?
