What License Dashboard is
License Dashboard provides software asset management products and services for organizations managing licenses, IT spending, and compliance. Its suite includes License Manager, Portal, Discovery, SaaS Manager, Universal Data, and an API. License Manager automates license reconciliation, calculates license metrics, and keeps a record of compliance history and changes to the IT asset estate. It checks entitlements against software catalogues and links maintenance and upgrade terms to base licenses. Its views cover cloud, on-premise, and hybrid entitlements, with predicted-spend recommendations. Portal offers role-based dashboards and reports, plus tools for tracking renewals, underused applications, Azure billing, and Microsoft 365 subscriptions. Discovery supports agent-based and agentless discovery across Unix, Linux, and Windows networks; SaaS Manager monitors cloud and SaaS subscriptions. Universal Data collects, normalizes, and reconciles information from inventory and third-party systems. The products are offered as a hybrid deployment, with API, Linux, web, and Windows listed as platforms. License Manager itself is a Windows application requiring SQL Server 2019 or later and an active internet connection for licensing. Pricing is on request.
