License Reclamation & Optimization
BEAK ITAM continuously monitors software license usage to identify optimization opportunities and automatically reclaim unused licenses.
License Monitoring
Usage Tracking
Monitor actual software usage across all endpoints. Track application launch frequency, active usage time, and feature utilization to identify truly needed licenses versus shelfware.
Compliance Dashboard
Real-time visibility into license compliance posture:
- Licenses owned vs. licenses deployed
- Over-licensed and under-licensed titles
- Compliance risk scoring by application
Reclamation Workflows
Dormant License Detection
Automatically identify licenses that haven't been used within a configurable time window (e.g., 30, 60, 90 days).
Automated Reclamation
- Notify users before reclaiming dormant licenses
- Auto-uninstall unused software after grace period
- Return reclaimed licenses to the available pool
- Generate reclamation reports for financial teams
Optimization Recommendations
- Identify opportunities to downgrade license tiers (e.g., Enterprise to Standard)
- Suggest license consolidation across overlapping tools
- Recommend volume licensing vs. per-seat based on usage patterns
