Zusammenfassung:	Embodiments include a computer-implemented method for determining an optimal license mix for an enterprise computer system in accordance with a standardized graph-based framework. The method includes discovering licensable products of an enterprise computer system in accordance with a standardized graph-based framework, and constructing a licensable product star graph (LPSG) in accordance with the standardized graph-based framework by evaluating each licensable product to identify any license models and any target elements associated with the licensable product. The method further includes constructing a licensable product constellation graph (LPCG) in accordance with the standardized graph-based framework by evaluating each LPSG to group any common target elements of the license models, and determining an optimal license mix for the enterprise computer system based on the LPCG.
