Most businesses use dozens of subscriptions, and they are easy to lose track of.
A licensing management service takes over the tracking and optimization.

**What the service typically covers**

– **Inventory:** every license, subscription, and renewal date in one place

– **Assignment management:** who has what license, with changes tracked

– **Usage monitoring:** finding unused or underused licenses

– **Renewal management:** alerts, price comparison, and negotiation support

– **Right-sizing:** adjusting plans to what people actually need

– **Compliance review:** helping ensure you meet vendor terms

– **Onboarding and offboarding:** assigning and removing licenses as staff change

– **Purchasing:** managing orders and invoices through a single partner

– **Reporting:** costs by department, and trends

**Benefits**

– **Lower costs** from removing unused licenses and choosing better plans

– **Fewer surprises** at renewal time

– **Reduced compliance risk**

– **Time savings** for staff

– **Better security,** because departed users lose access promptly

**Common sources of savings**

– Licenses assigned to former employees

– Higher tiers than necessary

– Duplicate tools across teams

– Missed discounts or programs

– Mixed billing frequency (monthly vs. annual) where annual makes sense

**Microsoft licensing**

Microsoft offers multiple purchase programs and billing options. A partner can help
with plans, term commitments, and monthly versus annual billing.

**What you still own**

Your team decides which tools are needed, and who gets access. The provider supplies
the tracking, advice, and execution.

**Getting started**

Begin with a one-time license audit to establish the baseline, then move to ongoing
management.

**DBR Soft offers license management as part of its managed services and procurement.****
