About us
On a mission to make SAM tooling a commodity
LICENSEWARE is a globally distributed, deep-tech company founded in 2020. We transform enterprise software licensing data into actionable insights that lead to real cost savings and audit-risk mitigation. Our mission is to let organizations do SAM independently, and get the answers they need when they need them.
Our mission
Actionable results and flexibility
Our value is simple: we focus on actionable results and flexibility, through on-demand, modular solutions that meet organizations where they are.
How we think about SAM
An ecosystem, not a monolith
We believe the SAM technology of the future is the collective work of thousands of experts, turning their knowledge into algorithms and data structures. Six principles shape everything we build.
Open
The LICENSEWARE app ecosystem is open and built for collaboration. Experts can materialize their knowledge as their own apps, share it, and even monetize it.
Modular
Instead of one bloated tool, our apps each do one thing well. Use them on their own or together, and pay for the functionality you actually need.
Integrated
Data lives across SAM, ITAM and IT tools. Our apps integrate through powerful APIs, anyone can build a connector, and service providers can white-label them.
Easy to use
A simple, intuitive interface for technical and non-technical users alike. We abstract the complexity and surface only what matters to the task at hand.
Flexible
Some teams need SAM daily, others seasonally. Choose unlimited subscriptions from one month, or pay-as-you-go, charged only for the devices you analyze.
Smart
We connect to endless data sources and process terabytes in hours, extracting real intelligence with smart algorithms and machine learning, not just inventory.
Our vision
Where we're headed
To make SAM tooling a commodity.
- like AWS did for IT infrastructure
- like Netflix did for movies
- like Spotify did for music
SAM becomes a commodity when tooling is easily accessible, affordable and to the point, at any scale and regardless of maturity. It is up to us to pave the way to that paradigm, and change the way people work by making it more effective.

How we work
Culture is what we do, not what we say
Culture isn't a foosball table or pizza Fridays. It's our collective values and actions, the way we treat each other and the work.
Remote and distributed
We're spread across the globe and we like it that way. Beach, home office or favorite coffee shop, we get it done and take pride in work done well.
Open and direct
Simple words, a casual tone, and honest opinions. We're genuinely open to other views and say what we think, clearly and concisely, because we care.
Autonomy and trust
No bureaucracy, no politics. We work together because we trust each other's capabilities and judgment, and we let good ideas flourish.
Quality with judgment
We're experienced enough to know when it's good enough and when it has to be perfect, and we produce quality work in an agile fashion.
Customers first, honestly
We listen and cater to real needs, and we don't build or sell bullshit. We'll challenge a customer when we know we're right.
Fun and meaning
Work is fun when you do it with passion and the freedom to do it your way. If you found a way to get paid for playing, welcome.
Recognition
Verified and recognized

Trusted by IT and procurement teams
From global enterprises renewing Microsoft Enterprise Agreements to consultancies rationalizing software estates, LICENSEWARE customers cut costs, reduce risk, and stay audit-ready.
LICENSEWARE made our Microsoft Enterprise Agreement renewal simple. All of the complex manual work was removed entirely, allowing us to focus on the important assessment of the Microsoft 365 E5 technology stack and the complex commercial discussions, which resulted in a very smooth process and a quality outcome.
Reviews

The normalization and baselining features are powerful and the justification for license allocations built into the tool is welcome, particularly when considering the financial risk involved with incorrect license allocation decisions being made.
