		Dedicated tools have the ability to locate and identify a wide range of software, to "learn" the characteristics of software that is new or unique to the organization, and to analyze and report their findings in a variety of ways.
		Auditors may need to assess the software and prioritize how it is handled, depending on the organization's long-term aims and whether the software audit is for legal compliance or total cost-of-ownership reasons.
		Auditors should run all new software on this machine to teach the audit package the new executable files that it needs to recognize and identify the applications to which they belong.

	CNN.com - IT managers under pressure to audit software - July 6, 2001
		In an effort to reduce the amount of unlicensed, or pirated, software running on corporate desktops and servers, the Business Software Alliance (BSA) and software vendor Microsoft are taking steps to encourage small and medium-size companies to better manage the programs that end up on their computer systems.
		The BSA, an industry trade group representing some of the world's largest software vendors, has been increasing its efforts to get corporations to investigate the software running on their computers and identify products that are not covered by an adequate license.
		Responding to other complaints that conducting audits could add significant costs to most companies, the BSA's Kruger argued that audits will actually save companies money in the long run because IT managers will learn to better manage the software on their computers.
