Managing Software Licences

How to store software licence information?
How to store software install instructions?
How to keep track of licenses used?

I have an access database that has every PC owned by the school. I also store the software installed on each computer. This is software that is in the add/remove programs list. Some software is not listed in the afore mentioned list. These programs are generally old. Because it is such a small number i am prepared to ignore them.

I will store the software license information in an access table. All hard copies will also be kept.

Info required

Title
No of licences
Site name
Site codes
Install instructions

I will then be able to compare using an access query no of licences used against licences purchased.
