Article Summary

Use the Licenses page to see a consolidated view of all Licenses for SaaS applications detected in your organization. Licenses are added automatically using data from your organization's applications. You can also manually add licenses when they are not added automatically; either one at a time or in bulk via CSV adapter. The Licenses page delivers increased management and oversight over the various SaaS licenses used in your organization.

It can help you understand:

  • Utilization of the licenses in your organization
  • Which licenses are active
  • What are your upcoming renewals
  • And more

Adapter Connections

Licenses are added automatically using data from your organization's discovered licenses. You can also manually add licenses via a CSV adapter. T

The icon in the Adapter Connections column indicates what source Axonius is drawing its data from for any of the displayed licenses (Zoom, Google, Okta, etc). License data can also be manually uploaded through the CSV adapter (for more information, see CSV - Licenses.)
