Software License
The Software License module helps track and manage software licenses across the organization. It allows administrators to record license details, monitor allocation and usage, and maintain compliance by mapping licenses to software, publishers, and vendors.
How does it work
These are added manually or imported using CSV and mapped to the relevant software and publisher. The system tracks purchased and allocated permits in real time and supports scheduled usage checks to monitor thresholds. Licenses can be searched, filtered, edited, or updated in bulk to maintain accurate and compliant license records.
What you see on the screen
The page displays all available licenses in a centralized list. From the left panel, users can view licenses grouped by publisher categories, making it easier to navigate and manage licenses across different software vendors.
