Don't know how much this will help you, and it may just be overkill, but
have a look at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/irm/
It's a complete trouble ticket/inventory management system, but it has
as one component license tracking, which may be useful to you. I'm
planning on rolling it out this summer - only downside is populating the
databases from scratch - I'm downloading FreshDiagnose now to see what
format it puts data in - perl is a great tool for dealing with things
like this :)
Anyone know of similar software for Macs?
