Common Questions About LicenseLift AI Assessment

Q: What is the primary benefit of the LicenseLift AI Assessment?

LicenseLift helps you significantly reduce wasteful Microsoft licensing spend and identify immediate funds to invest in critical AI initiatives like Microsoft Copilot pilots, all within 30 days.

Q. What kind of insights will we receive from the assessment?

You'll receive a comprehensive LicenseLift Scorecard detailing potential savings, optimized spend, and funds available for AI pilot programs. You'll also get a Deal Strategy Playbook to guide future negotiations and a CFO-ready ROI model. While results vary, clients often uncover significant savings by identifying unused or over-provisioned licenses.

Q. How does this help us with our AI strategy?

By pinpointing existing software waste, LicenseLift directly frees up capital within your current IT budget that can be reallocated to fund new AI workloads, like Microsoft Copilot, without requiring new budget approvals. We identify the exact SKUs and AI workloads suitable for tools like Copilot, ensuring smart investment.

Q. Can you help us decide what to do with Windows 10 end-of-life?

Yes, we are not only partnered with Microsoft - but also with their strategic OEM partners (Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Surface). We know how OEM licensing works and why it's an area of mismanagement and waste for most companies. We've even seen companies incur millions in fines and audit fees due to misunderstandings of the information.

Q: How does LicenseLift identify savings?

We utilize an AI agent to collect detailed 30-day usage telemetry, identifying underutilized or idle software licenses. We also analyze your Active Directory to ensure licenses are perfectly aligned with actual user roles and needs.

What is the cost structure for LicenseLift?

The LicenseLift AI Assessment is offered at a fixed price of $12,000, plus a success-based fee of 5% of your year-1 savings, capped at $50,000. This ensures our incentives are directly aligned with your financial benefits.

Q. Is there ongoing support or tools after the assessment?

Yes. Beyond the initial assessment and strategy, we offer an optional AIOps Squad™ bot team. This AI team can automatically deprovision dormant licenses, ensuring your savings are maintained over time.

Q. Is this only for Microsoft licenses?

While we have deep Microsoft expertise, our telemetry can analyze various SaaS ecosystems.

Q. How far in advance of my renewal should I start?

We recommend at least 12-14 months in advance, so we can plan for your Y2 True Up and develop a solid strategy.
