Sassafras Software was an early pioneer in the development of software license compliance technology for desktop computers beginning in 1989. We have been providing IT asset management solutions since our first public release of KeyServer in 1990. Sassafras enjoys broad support from software publishers, including many technical partners that rely exclusively on KeyServer technology. For nearly 20 years, our products have supported Software Asset Management (SAM) activities on some of the largest computer networks worldwide.
As a leader in licensing technology, Sassafras Software is an active participant in several industry forums that promote the dialog between SAM administrators, compliance officers, software publishers, licensing service providers, and industry associations. We have presented software licensing issues for discussion at many industry and educational forums including SWAMI (Gartner Group), SIIA (SPA), IBSMA SAM Summit, IBSMA Software Licensing Practices Committee, IAITAM Annual Conference, NSBA, JPSA (Tokyo), MITI (Tokyo), and in numerous others.
Sassafras has been instrumental in driving the development of software licensing standards for two decades. Members of the Sassafras team were among the coauthors of the LS-API specification in the early 1990’s. In recent years, a Sassafras volunteer has contributed as a coauthor to the ISO/IEC 19770-2 international standard for software identification and served as the Convener of the working group developing the ISO/IEC 19770-3 standard for software license entitlements.
Sassafras Software has been recognized by the world’s leading IT Asset Management associations with the highest levels of professional recognition in the IT Asset Management industry.
