Microsoft license management

Determining license compliance for data center products like SQL Server is complicated because you must understand product use rights for every product and version. Flexera’s extensive product use rights libraries and templates, with more than 5,500 templates and 970,000 product use rights, enable you to seamlessly report your effective license position. You no longer need to be a lawyer or mathematician to have the upper hand.

You will overpay for Microsoft technology without understanding how each employee uses the provisioned software. Comparing licenses purchased against licenses installed or allocated is not adequate for assessing licenses required by the business. Flexera helps you understand your contracts, usage and consumption across cloud, on-premises and SaaS environments. Leverage Microsoft optimization reports for optimal license consumption, review license agreements and stop paying for premium SaaS subscriptions with usage insights comparing E5 to E3 to E1 usage.

Without a decoder ring, understanding your cloud bill is impossible. But with a simple connection to your APIs, you can see the details of your multi-cloud spend. With Flexera, you can evaluate and report on your most cost-effective regions and instance sizes and dive deep into public cloud costs by application, category, business unit, cost center, department or team. Avoid surprise bills with spend anomaly detection.
