Microsoft Licence check on LAN

[scoobs]

So we have 45 machines and i just started in this job is there anyway perhaps with software etc to scan the network and check if the MS licences are actually valid ? i heard the guy before me used 1 licence for 4 machines at once and i just want to get a handle on it

any ideas ?

I don't know or understand your network, it is not easy to give an outright recommendation, but MAP will be able to assess your network,

First run VAMT https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=11936
(Volume Activation Management Tool)
That will show if it's OEM/Volume license keys etc
Then rum MAP if you need more info
And SAM - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sam/

Edit: I see one of the links above also mentions VAMT and SAM...
