Software Licence Management

Tracking licensed software is how a business brings its software usage under control and stays compliant. Meeting legal obligations, optimising cost and keeping software secure all depend on licences being managed properly. This service audits the licence status of every application you run, manages renewal and update cycles, and keeps your compliance position sound.

Given how much legal compliance matters, licence tracking also helps businesses optimise what they spend on software. We keep your applications current and correctly licensed while preventing unnecessary cost, simplifying licence administration and minimising legal risk.

• Software licence management — This covers tracking the licences for every application your business owns. Details such as how long a purchased licence remains valid and how many users it covers are monitored and managed, with new licences added or existing ones updated as required.
• Automated licence tracking — Automated tracking systems monitor and report on software usage and licence data continuously. They keep track of when licences expire, which software is running on which device, and where a licence is being breached.
• Cloud-based licence management — Cloud-based tracking lets you manage the licence status of applications that run in the cloud. It suits businesses using SaaS in particular, bringing every software licence onto a single platform and tracking expiry dates automatically.
• Mobile licence management — Tracking licences for applications used on mobile devices matters too. This service monitors the licensed software running on your mobile estate and integrates with your mobile security policy.
• Licence compliance audits — Compliance audits are periodic reviews that check whether your software licensing meets legal requirements. They surface potential breaches early so that you can act before legal exposure or financial penalties arise.

• Legal compliance — Accurate licence tracking keeps your business compliant with regulation. Licensing breaches can lead to heavy fines and legal sanction; tracking checks that your licences are valid and prevents that exposure.
• Cost control and optimisation — Licence tracking shows you how much budget each application actually warrants. Unused or surplus licences are identified and unnecessary spending stops. Renewal dates are tracked so that budgeting can be done accurately.
• Higher productivity — Monitoring and managing licensed software regularly makes the organisation more productive. The applications people need are always available, which keeps work moving, and interruptions caused by expired licences are avoided.
• Managing updates and security — Licence tracking ensures software updates and security patches are applied on time. Vulnerabilities in your applications are closed quickly and the business stays protected against cyber threats.
• Preventing over-deployment — Monitoring licensed software prevents licence breaches and stops software being used beyond entitlement. In multi-user environments in particular, it means everyone can use the software productively while staying within licence rights.

• Simple, effective administration — Managing every software licence from a single platform reduces the administrative load. Automated tracking makes expiry dates, renewals and usage easy to follow.
• Better budget planning — Licence tracking brings software spend under control and keeps you away from unnecessary licence cost. You can cancel licences that are not in use and choose the licensing model that suits your business.
• Timely renewals — Tracking systems remind you when licences are due to expire and which need renewing, so that work is not interrupted. Disruption caused by lapsed licences simply does not happen.
• Compliance and security — Regular audits and tracking guarantee that your licensing meets legal requirements and protect the business against breach. At the same time, updates and security patches for your licensed software are applied on schedule, which keeps your data secure.
