Unused seats from sign-in activity.

The problem

You pay for seats nobody uses, but you only notice at the annual renewal. Nobody tracks who actually uses a license or which contracts are coming up, so assignments linger and contracts renew on autopilot. The money leaks away, and you have no number to take back to the vendor.

What you get

See the real usage of your Microsoft licenses from sign-ins and reclaim license spend. Reporting and alerting; assignment is left to Microsoft.

1

See which seats cost you money for nothing

Based on sign-in activity, you see which seats have gone unused for 90 days or more, as concrete candidates to reconsider.

2

Real usage, not just assignment

Five activity levels, from active to never signed in, show who actually uses a license, not just who was assigned one.

3

No more surprises at renewal

One registry of your contracts, seat counts and expiry dates, with an alert before a contract ends or nears its limit.

4

A grounded negotiation with your vendor

You walk into the renewal with a hard number on real usage instead of a guess.

5

Ownership without the load on IT

Up to three owners per contract see their own consumption, so cost is visible to the people who create it.

6

One total, even across currencies

Contracts in different currencies are converted to euro, so you see your total license spend as a single figure.

How it works

1. Read sign-in activity

ServiceChanger pulls the sign-in activity from Entra ID via Microsoft Graph.

2. Link to contracts

Record your contracts and seat counts in the registry.

3. Track and alert

The module reports usage and warns on over- or under-utilization and expiry.

Frequently asked questions

Does the module assign or revoke licenses?

No. The module only reports and alerts. Assigning or revoking Microsoft licenses stays with Microsoft.

How do you measure whether a license is really used?

Through sign-in activity in Entra ID. Seats unused for 90 days or more surface as candidates to reconsider.

Does it support multiple currencies?

Yes. Contracts in different currencies are converted to euro for your overview.
