The Software License Management template is a practical, no-code solution designed to help organizations maintain full visibility and control over their software licenses. It centralizes license records, tracks which users are assigned to each license, and ensures that expiration dates and availability are monitored in real time.
Using a structured license catalog, IT administrators can store information about purchased software, including license quantities, vendors, expiration dates, and responsible owners. License assignments are managed through linked records, allowing teams to clearly see who is using each license and how many seats remain available.
The system also introduces a request workflow where employees can submit license requests for specific software. Once approved, the system automatically creates license assignments, reducing manual work and ensuring that license usage stays accurate and transparent.
