Software License Management and Optimization

Find and eliminate software waste

Wasted spend across an organization’s IT estate can be significant, ranging from 20% - 30% on average. Organizations using legacy inventory tools or spreadsheets can’t reduce spend because they lack usage insights. Flexera provides intelligent product use rights and algorithms that optimally configure your licenses to save you money, even for the most complicated software from your strategic vendors like Microsoft, IBM, SAP, Oracle and Salesforce. With verified usage metering, you can identify more opportunities for savings, and cost avoidance across your end-user, datacenter and SaaS applications

Simplify license management for complex enterprise applications

Enterprise application licensing is very complex. Without proper visibility, it’s hard to understand if licenses are configured correctly to optimize spend or if features (such as Oracle Management Packs and Database Options) are enabled but not being used. To save time and simplify the complex, leverage a product use rights library that automatically optimizes your software portfolio by applying product use rights such as upgrade, downgrade, second use, non-production, active/passive cluster, virtual and hybrid use rights.
