How can I easily create/manage/maintain a software database that stores the names, versions, keys of our s/w?

Question

I work in an IT building and we support over 500 various applications.

I have been tasked with creating a database that displays how many pieces of software we own, who makes it, what version it is, how many available licenses/keys were ordered/in use.

Anybody have any ideas that come to mind?  I want to make this database as accurate as possible, yet very simple to manage and maintain...  I appreciate any suggestions/comments..  Thank you

Since this is probably going to be a single user application, meaning not network shared and used concurrently by many users, your best best to to use Microsoft Access to develop a simple database application.
