    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is a software license management tool?

    A software license management tool helps you track, manage and optimize your software usage and licenses. It shows what’s installed, what’s being used and where you might be over- or under-licensed—so you stay compliant and avoid unnecessary costs.

    Why do I need a license management solution if I already have inventory tools?

    Inventory tools show what’s installed, but they don’t calculate what you actually need. A license management solution connects the dots—analyzing usage, licensing rules and contract terms to give you clear, actionable insights.

    How can software license management help with audits?

    It gives you reliable data about your software environment, helping you respond quickly and confidently to audits or true-ups. With accurate license positions, you reduce risk and strengthen your negotiation power.
