Licenses

Find the Microsoft 365 seats you're paying for and nobody uses - unassigned units, licenses on guests, and subscriptions drifting toward a bad renewal.

Licenses

The Licenses screen answers a question most organizations can't answer without a spreadsheet exercise: "What are we paying Microsoft for that nobody is using?" License spend grows by default - people leave, projects end, trials convert - and the units keep billing. This screen turns the license inventory into a reclamation list.

What You Can Achieve

Reclaim units you already bought

For every SKU, see purchased vs. assigned vs. available units side by side. Unassigned units are budget sitting idle - reallocate them before buying more.

Find licenses on the wrong identities

External and guest users holding paid seats, and licenses assigned to accounts that no longer sign in. Each one is a subscription working for nobody.

Walk into renewals with numbers

Status flags show which subscriptions are active, in warning, or suspended - so renewal negotiations start from real utilization, not the vendor's proposal.

Automate the cleanup

Select licenses and run automation workflows against them, turning a quarterly true-up ritual into a continuous process.

The License List

Each row shows a subscription plan with its status, the users holding it (external users broken out), and the unit math that drives cost: all units purchased, used units assigned, and available units unassigned. The applies to column distinguishes user licensing from device licensing.

Sort by available units to get an instant savings shortlist, or by external users to review why guests hold paid seats at all.

Investigative Patterns

The renewal prep: sort by available units descending, then review each SKU's external-user count. In most tenants this ten-minute pass finds enough idle and misassigned units to change the renewal conversation.

Licenses tell you what's assigned; activity tells you what's used. Cross-reference license holders against user activity and sign-in history to find paid seats on dormant accounts - then reclaim the license as part of the same offboarding automation that revokes the account's access.
