Dear Shelly,
Are you using Configurations that are tied to the Client?
I don't see the need for a "Unique" identifier for each software installation. You would track the number of licenses available on the Inventory Item for the software as the quantity and then assign the software to each user's configuration. In this manner, when all licenses are used up, you would see 0 available. Conversely, when a software item is uninstalled from a PC or the PC is placed out of service, you would simply unassign the software from the user's configuration which would then make that license available again and increase the quantity available.
You can perform quite sophisticated Inventory and Asset management within Magic. Why don't you layout your current plan for your implementation and I will be happy to critique and offer suggestions.

We are in the early stages of asset management and have worked out
how to handle our hardware inventory and future software purchases.
The question for us is how to track our existing software. We've got
the data, that's not an issue. Our issue is that we have no unique
identifier for each software installation. For future purchases we
were planning on using purchase order number. If you have any ideas
or suggestions, I would love to hear them.
Thanks,
Shelly
