Licensing is where distribution earns its keep. We help partners choose the right model, manage the lifecycle and keep end customers compliant and audit-ready.
Licensing models
Software is licensed in many ways. We help you navigate them and quote the model that fits each customer best.
| Model | Best suited to | How it is billed |
|---|---|---|
| Perpetual licence | Customers preferring a one-time capital purchase | Upfront, with optional annual maintenance |
| Subscription (annual) | Predictable annual budgeting with full support included | Annual, per seat or per device |
| Subscription (monthly / CSP) | Cloud services with fluctuating user counts | Monthly, consolidated on one invoice |
| Volume agreement | Larger organisations standardising deployments | Tiered pricing against committed volume |
| Concurrent / floating | Specialist tools shared across teams | Per simultaneous user, server-managed |
Lifecycle
Subscriptions and maintenance contracts have a habit of lapsing quietly - taking recurring revenue and customer goodwill with them. Our partner portal records every entitlement in your portfolio and surfaces what needs attention.
You receive proactive notifications ahead of each expiry, automated renewal quotes, and the option to co-terminate contracts so a customer’s renewals fall on a single, predictable date.
Software Asset Management
Under-licensing invites publisher penalties; over-licensing wastes budget. Our SAM advisory helps your customers stay exactly where they should be.
We reconcile what a customer has purchased against what they are deploying, identifying gaps and surplus before an auditor does.
If a publisher audit arrives, we help you and your customer prepare the documentation and respond with confidence.
We recommend rightsizing - consolidating editions, retiring unused seats and aligning models - to reduce spend without risk.
