In an open case I had support could only tell me of the "bpminlicense
-verbose" command.

There is absolutely no good way to audit your licenses with any existing
tool.  You can have multiple virtual servers per physical servers (e.g. 
Windows cluster) that require 1 license per physical system, and you can
have multiple operating systems on a VMware server that require one
license per operating system type.

You need look at all of your pieces of paper or orders and count your
clients manually and hope you get it right.

Symantec has been talking about their new license manager product for
nearly a year around here and there's been no sign of it yet.
