Software spending keeps growing, and most teams still count licenses from a spreadsheet that was last right on the day it was built. By the time someone asks for a number, the contract is a month from renewing at last year's count.
This session explains what Software License Management is, where license waste hides, and what to do in the 90 days before a renewal. It is written for teams with no formal practice yet. We define every term the first time we use it, and we keep the steps in the order you would actually do them. It is a working session, not a product tour.
Practitioner-led, and built for IT, Procurement and Finance teams at companies with 500 to 5,000 employees.

What to collect before a renewal
