Control Software Costs with Intelligent License Management
License Patrol is a comprehensive software tracking, metering, and concurrent license management solution — built to scale from small offices to large enterprise IT environments. It brings the convenience of software metering that previously only large IT departments could afford, to small and mid-size businesses. Now every IT manager can know what software is being used in the company, who uses the software, and what is the demand for each software product. All kinds of useful business decisions can be made based on this information. For the first time, IT teams have a clear, auditable view of every software license in the organization.
With License Patrol you can switch to the concurrent software licensing model. You will be able to install the software on every workstation and let License Patrol shut down a client application when the number of concurrent users exceeds the number stipulated in the license agreement.

Cut Costs. Budget Smarter.
You need to plan software budget for the next year. Suppose you purchased 100 licenses of a desktop app last year — but only 30 people actively use it. Do you really need 100 renewals? Maybe only a handful of people use the product? License Patrol can tell you how many and what users used the product over certain period of time.
-
Simplify your IT infrastructure
You used to install certain software only on select machines — creating multiple configurations that were hard to maintain. License Patrol will let you switch to the concurrent licensing model when you can have a single software image for all your workstations and yet not overpay for software.
-
Ensure compliance with license terms, avoid legal troubles
How many people in your organization are running unlicensed software right now? License Patrol can enforce license terms by limiting the number of concurrent users of a software product to the amount stipulated in your license agreement or by preventing the use of certain software.
-
Negotiate concurrent license agreements; they are less expensive
With License Patrol you can negotiate a concurrent license agreement with a software vendor. It would be easy to convince the vendor that you have means to enforce that agreement.
-
Establish an effective software evaluation process. Let the community do the job
Stop relying on a handful of experts for software decisions. Let your whole team trial competing products, then let the usage data speak for itself. License Patrol tracks which tools people actually choose — giving you a data-driven basis for every purchase.
