Think about the amount of productivity lost walking to someone elses cube, filling out the required forms, picking up the discs (unless it has been checked out by someone else already eeek!) and then heading back to install it. 4-5 mins max? Now multiple it by the number of employees who will need to borrow the discs. Then take into account project delays caused by a) discs being used by someone else b) disc "keeper" away. Translate this lost productive into $$ and add in the cost of replacing lost discs....and it becomes worth it =0) @zatlite: Yeah it is time consuming, but pays off in the long run.

If it can't be found on the server, then there's a guy in the building whose job description includes installing those programs.
