    See this articles

    Asset Management has no control over which users can install or use software. This may be implied by Asset Management's software compliancy, such as a software purchase's Software Purchase Owners field (which users "own" the software, which can be meant to be understood who controls access or is responsible financially) or a software license's Authorized Clients field (any computer not on the Authorized Client list is automatically unauthorized). These are not used to control software installations or usage, they are used to provide data for software compliancy. Asset Management cannot enforce software installation or usage; in fact, there is no Symantec Altiris product that can do this

    Can Asset Management control which users can install or use software?

    There is not be define the authorize and unathorize software. Authorize client will be depend on the license of the software. There is authorize client list which can be show you the license sw information.

    Authorized Clients, a field in a software license, implies that it can control access to software. As previously mentioned, this is incorrect in that neither it nor Asset nor Altiris has the ability to enforce this. The Authorized Clients list is basically a "filter" for the software product/license as how it is applied to all Inventory Solution software inventory. Here are examples of how software compliancy works without and with an Authorized Client list
