A Seamless Integration for Modern SAM

As organizations face growing pressure to manage software assets efficiently and stay audit-ready, Licenseware and Lansweeper have joined forces to deliver a smarter, more flexible approach to Software Asset Management (SAM) – one that’s built for today’s dynamic IT environments.

Through a seamless integration, Lansweeper’s automated asset discovery feeds up-to-date software asset data directly into Licenseware’s modular SAM platform. Customers gain instant access to accurate data and actionable insights for license optimization, compliance, and cost control.

From Consultant Tool to Strategic Integration

For Licenseware CEO Alex Cojocaru, the partnership with Lansweeper was born out of firsthand experience.

“As a consultant, I learned the trick of the trade to always ask if Lansweeper was there – it would always give us the data we needed,” he said. “So, when we started Licenseware, Lansweeper was the first integration partner that came to mind.”

The partnership between Lansweeper and Licenseware has grown over several years and, Alex said, is rooted in mutual responsiveness and a shared vision.

“Licenseware and Lansweeper share a very similar vision when it comes to integrations,” he said. “We both have an integration-first approach, which we believe will be the core of the future SAM tools that reshape the market.”

Why the Modular Approach?

Traditional monolithic SAM platforms can be rigid, costly, and overly complex, especially for mid-sized companies trying to stay compliant and manage spend. In contrast, Licenseware’s flexible modular platform doesn’t require a large upfront financial investment or heavy implementation commitment.

Through the Lansweeper integration, complete and accurate software asset data flows seamlessly into Licenseware for instant analysis, eliminating tedious, error-prone manual entry. This simplifies audit prep, saving time and money – and reducing risk.

With Lansweeper providing detailed and accurate software asset data, customers can get started with SAM quickly and cost-effectively, and leverage clean and up-top-date data in Licenseware’s modular SAM tools to support licensing analysis, optimization, and audit readiness.

“Licenseware and Lansweeper share a very similar vision when it comes to integrations,” he said. “We both have an integration-first approach, which we believe will be the core of the future SAM tools that reshape the market.”

Lansweeper Powers the Foundation for AI

As AI continues to reshape the IT landscape, its potential to streamline operations and drive smarter decision-making is undeniable – but only when it’s built on a foundation of clean, reliable data. According to Alex, that’s where Lansweeper continues to play a vital role.

Lansweeper’s agentless, credential-free discovery captures the full picture of an organization’s software estate, including software installations, license usage, and network details. That data feeds directly into Licenseware apps, powering everything from usage insights to renewal planning.

“AI can’t fix your data,” Alex said, emphasizing that it’s the organization’s job to ensure their data is clean and AI-ready. “Everything starts with complete, reliable data. Otherwise, it’s garbage in, garbage out.”

Smarter, AI-Driven Contract Management

Customer demand continues to drive innovation – and Licenceware is listening. Alex said that one of the most requested features is centralized, intelligent contract and entitlement management.

“In the second half of this year, we’re rolling out a smarter contract management app,” he said. “We’re using AI to review and summarize audit clauses and explain them in plain language,” adding that they’ll also leverage AI for automating reminders and linking deployments to contracts, among other features.

“AI is leveling the playing field for smaller players like us – but we’re careful not to get caught in the hype. It’s about solving real problems, reducing manual work and surfacing useful insights at the right time.”

Unified Vision, Shared Value

By combining Lansweeper’s deep asset discovery capabilities with Licenseware’s flexible, AI-driven apps, the partnership enables organizations to gain back control of their software environments, without the high cost and complexity of monolithic SAM tools.

Plus, by leveraging the seamless integration, customers can start small, move quickly, and scale with confidence.

As Alex put it, the partnership is a shared commitment to help IT teams tackle the core challenges they face today: fragmented data, complex licensing terms, inefficient manual processes, and the ever-present risk of audits and non-compliance.

“To make a partnership work, you have to meet halfway – and we’ve been doing that with Lansweeper for three years now,” Alex said. “We listen to our shared audience and move fast to meet their needs. That’s been a solid recipe for success.”
