Software licences and seats
Track licences and subscriptions, assign seats to people and spot over-allocation.
Software tracks licences and subscriptions: how many seats you pay for, who holds them, what they cost and when they renew.
Add software
- Open Software and click New software.
- Fill in Name and Kind (subscription, perpetual, cloud, open source or other).
- Pick the Billing model: per seat (with Cost per seat / year) or flat monthly (with Monthly cost), and the Currency.
- Set Seats licensed, Vendor, Owner, Acquired, Renews and Notes.
- Click Save.
Renews raises a Software renewal alert ahead of the date, 60 days by default.
Assign and release seats
- Open the software and click Assign seat.
- In Assign a seat, use Choose a person. People who already hold a seat are left out.
Release on a seat row frees it. From a person's profile, Assign software does the same the other way round.

Over-allocation
Assigning more seats than you licensed is allowed. The page then shows "Over-allocated: 12 seats assigned, 10 licensed." and an Over-allocated chip, so you know to buy more or release some.
The list's Annual cost rolls per-seat entries up over the seats you licensed, not the seats in use.
