How are you dealing with Software Asset Management?

We currently have the Microsoft VLSC and a really old spreadsheet for everything like Adobe products and so on. Looking for a one system solution.Anyone know of any online application packaging tutorials for AdminStudio or InstallShield. The in-house tutorials by Flexera are way too expensive for meSCCM shop looking at buying AppPortal from Flexera. Boss's aren't happy with the costs. Can anyone suggest an alternative for monitoring / tracking workstations and license use? Thanks Much.

Thanks
