The license management software for your IT
- Creates clarity - even for the most complex license metrics
- Avoids costs due to over- or under-licensing
- Meets compliance requirements
License management makes the License management in your company particularly easy. Where it is normally difficult to keep track of different manufacturers and license models, license management not only recognizes different license types, but also complex dependencies.
Automatic and user-definable reporting options ensure clarity when it comes to license management and save time, while administrators benefit from the tool's ease of use .
Comprehensive license management makes over- and under-licensing visible and can therefore revealpotential savings in license procurement. Unwanted software on company computers can thus be identified before it becomes a problem. Insufficiently licensed programs can attract negative attention during a software audit and also become financially costly.
To ensure that license management and the associated overview are comprehensive, the import of the Microsoft 365 license portal is now also supported. All products, licenses and contacts required for the complaint check are created.

Read out Microsoft 365 license portal
By connecting one or more Microsoft 365 license portals, the license overview is possible again from one tool. Necessary contacts, licenses and products are automatically created as required and taken into account in the Complaince.
Utilizing synergy effects
License Management uses data from the core, where the software on the clients is inventoried as a list. License Management uses this data to determine a detection pattern to determine license consumption.
Compliance Check
Under-licensing due to insufficiently licensed programs comes to light during a software audit and can result in legal consequences and high fines. Over-licensing, on the other hand, leads to unnecessary costs due to excess software licenses. acmp license management detects both under- and over-licensing, which optimizes license costs and allows companies to benefit from a particularly fast RIO.
Reporting
Individually customizable, automatic reporting options provide a comprehensive overview - for example, of expiring contracts, over- and under-licensing or compliance check results.
Master data administration and contract management
License management can be used to record the master data for the license agreements. This includes, for example, supplier and contact data maintenance as well as the recording of termination or renewal periods.
Identify inventoried software
DNA groups the software it finds into categories that help you to identify programs of the same type, for example. Insufficiently licensed programs can attract negative attention during a software audit and can also be financially costly.
In addition, DNA groups the software it finds into categories that help you to identify programs of the same type, for example.
Database with a large number of manufacturers
- approx. 17,000 manufacturers
- almost 700,000 software entries
- Database with over 8,000 software products
- More than 43,000 software product versions (only license-relevant software)
Preparations for the software audit
Forgotten or outdated software installations can also turn out to be a risk if licensing is inadequate. This can quickly attract negative attention and become a costly trap for companies.

FAQ
For example, is it possible to have a compliance overview sent to you as a regular report?
Yes, using the query function of Core can be used to select or create reports specific to license management and send them at intervals by e-mail to a specific recipient (group).
How can I optimize my cost structure through license management?
- Minimize over-licensing and save costs for unnecessary licenses, prevent under-licensing and avoid penalties during audits
- Find and redistribute unused licenses instead of buying additional ones
Can I prevent software from being installed from the acmp Kiosk if no licenses are available?
Yes, acmp can be configured accordingly. Before installation, the system checks whether there are still free licenses for the desired software. If this is not the case, installation is rejected.
Which links to consumers can be established?
It is possible to link the license user to a user, client and/or an asset (e.g. printer, IP telephone).
How often is the fingerprint database updated?
The data is updated monthly.
How is new software included or recognized in the DNA catalog?
This is inventoried by acmp and forwarded to the DNA catalog.
Can individual software (in-house development) also be included in the catalog?
The software can be recorded by our support team and a review and check can be initiated.
