(Total Network Inventory from Softinventive) tool. You can try to use freeware option like Spiceworks but it crashes sometimes and has ads.Though article is good but if dont want to waste time i suggest to use some of the software tools to make your life easier..

Yes Microsoft have MUCH bigger guns than this.. this tool is really only useful for desktop apps. It won’t show you anything about your virtual environment, SQL Server, server apps etc. basically where all your license costs are really tied up.
A better option is to use Microsoft MAP toolkit (free) and a service like AssetLabs Engage to determine your license compliance. You need license experts to really determine your entitlements, no software solution can do it all.

I ran a scan on my local machine twice. I have a Lenovo laptop running Windows 7 Enterprise. The first scan didn’t report anything. The second time, it came back and it found my laptop and the correct OS…That’s it. No mention of all of the microsoft office products,etc. Didn’t list the product ID either! Very disappointing.

It gathers the software inventory but nothing appears for Product ID
