A license inventory with seat-level assignment, hard over-allocation limits, and expiry and near-capacity alerts.
Software licenses — entitlement, seat usage, and term dates per license, with seats assigned to employees or devices. Assignment beyond the entitled count is blocked.
For the operator
IT assigns a CRM seat to a new hire; at ninety-five percent of entitlement the system warns before the next assignment would fail. Expiring licenses surface in time to renew rather than after the team is locked out.
Business impact
No surprise over-licensing fees and no compliance gaps. Every seat is tracked to a person or a device, and renewals are planned instead of scrambled.
