I'm interested in any software, experience or guidelines listed that help to deal with listing installed services, their primary user (or business person that is responsible for this service), domain names, ip addresses, ports in your servers.

Servers are both Windows and Linux, so licenses are also good to track with all of this information.

Scale of the infrastructure in question - 20-50 servers.

Currently we have no better idea as to use Excel for it.
