Forget all that. Just write the killer app, "Net pervert" - like Net Nanny but in reverse, silently finds all the best porn available and filters out all the other rubbish that clutters up the internet.

If you're looking for qualifications, ITIL Configuration Manager's sort out/manage software licences - you'll need practitioner tho...

I'm thinking about expanding my 'skill set' and becoming one of those Nazi's that specialise in proper licensing of software. Apart from knowing the pros/cons of a few apps that scan PC's for installations of porno screesavers, and having a rough idea of the licensing schemes available from the major players, does anyone have any pointers as to what else I might need in order to wreak misery throughout the land?

I've had a look on job boards that seem to imply a number of years experience over qualifications (maybe there aren't any? have yet to find a certification path), but what's the best route for starting out? I'm currently in a lucky position to pick up some experience as I'm 'working' in Local Government for an asset management team where I can use my ultra-nosey powers to the max.

Any suggestions (preferably useful ones!) gratefully received.

Cheers peeps
