Cost Optimization Every vendor

Stop paying for software you don't use

Most overspend is invisible: idle seats, editions richer than the workload needs, and three tools doing one job. LICENSEWARE reads your real deployment and usage data across every major vendor, then turns it into right-sizing decisions you can defend to finance.

The problem

Spend hides between what's bought and what's used

The data to fix this already lives in your discovery and ITSM tools. What's missing is the licensing logic that turns raw inventory into a defensible right-sizing case, per vendor, with the rules each vendor actually enforces.

Idle seats

Inactive Microsoft 365 accounts still billed at the full tier, long after anyone used them.

Over-provisioned editions

Oracle Enterprise Edition where Standard Edition 2 would do, and all-apps Creative Cloud for single-app users.

Functional overlap

Three tools doing one job, none retired, each renewed on autopilot year after year.

How it works

From raw inventory to reclaimed spend

Connect what you already run. Let the vendor logic do the math. Act on a costed, prioritized list.

Optimization pipeline

01Connect

Pull from 58+ sources (Lansweeper, SCCM, Flexera, Snow, ServiceNow, vCenter) or use the LICENSEWARE Collector. No new agents required.

02Analyze

Inventory is normalized and matched, then each vendor-specific app applies real licensing rules to surface downgrade, consolidation, and reharvesting opportunities.

03Act

NEO turns the analysis into a prioritized, costed optimization report you can take to finance and procurement in minutes.

The apps that do the work

Vendor-specific optimization, automated

Cost lives vendor by vendor, so optimization does too. Each app applies its vendor's licensing model to your deployment data and surfaces the savings a generic SAM dashboard misses.

Software Inventory Manager

Recognizes, enriches, and categorizes every install, then surfaces functional overlap and redundant tooling. The starting point for finding waste you didn't know you had.

Microsoft Deployment Manager

Right-sizes the Microsoft estate. Flags inactive M365 accounts to reharvest, surfaces E5-to-E3 and F3 downgrade potential from real usage, and exposes illogical allocations on non-human accounts.

Oracle Database Manager

Calculates gross consumption and financial liability, then identifies edition downgrades (Enterprise to Standard Edition 2) and OCI BYOL consolidation, while flagging legacy infrastructure risk.

Red Hat Deployment Manager

Assesses RHEL subscription usage, highlights unmanaged distributions and end-of-life risk, and surfaces OS standardization and infrastructure consolidation opportunities automatically.

Adobe Deployment Manager

Right-sizes Creative Cloud bundles from actual deployments and named users, so single-app users stop carrying all-apps cost and unused seats get reclaimed.

Oracle Middleware Manager

Automates analysis of WebLogic and Fusion Middleware usage, bundling, and license requirements, giving you the insight to consolidate footprints and cut compliance risk.

Oracle Java Deployment Manager

Gives visibility into Java versions, editions, and components installed, with requirements made explicit, critical now that Oracle prices Java SE per total employee count.

NEO

Reads every report and produces the Software Rationalization & Cost Optimization insight: redundancies, overlap, and financial waste, with prioritized, costed recommendations in minutes.

Inactive E5 seats flagged after 90+ days and downgraded to E3, with no functional impact.

EE → SE2

Oracle right-sized

Enterprise Edition workloads matched to Standard Edition 2 and on-prem databases moved to OCI BYOL.

$186K

Overlap removed

Redundant tools consolidated onto the platform your teams actually use.

Proof

What customers say

Simple, reliable, and cost-effective for licence management. It's my go-to software for any licence-related issue, and it helps me analyze our data in much greater depth.
