See it in action

From unknown installs to a defensible licence position.

One agent inventories every device — hardware, warranty and lifecycle — and recognises every installed title with real usage, then reconciles installs against entitlements to show what you own, what’s used, and your true licence position.

Hardware & software asset management

Manage the asset. Reconcile the licence.

From the day a device is bought to the day a licence renews — Insights ITAM tracks hardware through its lifecycle and reconciles every software title against your entitlements.

Roaming device agentAgent

A lightweight Windows & macOS agent inventories laptops that never touch your network — homeworkers and roaming devices — checking in outbound at logon and through the day.

Peripheral & USB inventoryAgent

Captures connected monitors, keyboards, mice and headsets over USB and Bluetooth — plus USB removable-storage detection for acceptable-use compliance.

Warranty tracking

Start/end, type, provider and claim URL — with automatic Dell enrichment by service tag and a nightly sweep that fills gaps. Lenovo/Apple/Cisco planned.

Lifecycle & refresh

Track end-of-life, planned refresh date and depreciation period per device, so hardware renewal is planned rather than reactive.

Assignment workflow

Who a device is assigned to, their department, cost centre and location — with an assign/return workflow ideal for homeworking fleets.

Contracts, docs & imports

Store warranties, POs and contracts with expiry alerts — and bulk-load purchase data by mapping any procurement/ERP export, saved as a one-click profile.

The endpoint agent

Reclaim licences from what’s actually used.

A small Windows & macOS agent, deployable through Intune, SCCM, Jamf or any RMM, records per-application usage — last-launched and launch count — so SAM can flag software installed but not opened in 90 days, graded by confidence.

  • Per-app usage telemetry — the signal behind reclaim
  • Reclaimable Licences, graded High / Low confidence
  • Hardware, logged-in user and peripherals too
  • Reports outbound — no scannable network required
The uControl agent measures real app usage and streams telemetry to ITAM/SAM, flagging idle reclaimable licences
Effective Licence Position

Know exactly where you stand, per title.

Record your entitlements, then reconcile deployed against licensed to compute surplus, shortfall or compliant for every product — with curated vendor packs so you don’t build recognition from scratch.

  • True ELP: over-, under- or correctly licensed
  • Entitlements expiring soon, surfaced early
  • Vendor packs for Microsoft, Adobe & Oracle Java
  • SAM REST API into your own reporting or CMDB

Questions

Frequently asked.

How does licence reclaim know software is unused?

The endpoint agent records per-application last-launched date and launch count. SAM’s Reclaimable Licences view flags software installed but not launched within the unused window (90 days by default), graded by confidence. Software in active use is never flagged.

Which hardware warranties can you enrich automatically?

Dell warranties are enriched automatically by service tag, with a nightly sweep that fills gaps; Lenovo, Apple and Cisco are planned. For any vendor you can record warranty start/end, type, provider and claim URL manually or by bulk import, and set expiry alerts.

What is an Effective Licence Position (ELP)?

Record your entitlements per product and Insights reconciles them against deployed installs to show surplus, shortfall or compliant for every title — your true licence position. Curated vendor packs for Microsoft, Adobe and Oracle Java ship recognition rules out of the box, so you don’t build recognition from scratch.

Can you inventory laptops that never touch our network?

Yes. The Windows/macOS endpoint agent reports hardware, user, installed software, usage and peripherals over an outbound check-in and auto-creates an asset — so homeworker and roaming devices appear in the register without ever being on a scannable network. Deploy it via Intune, SCCM, Jamf or any RMM.

Can we integrate the licence position with our own systems?

Yes — a SAM REST API exposes catalogue, entitlements, inventory and reconciliation results, so you can feed the position into your own reporting or CMDB.
