How does Mosyle manage software license compliance?

Mosyle manages software license compliance primarily through the monitoring of software use. This approach enables organizations to keep track of which software applications are installed and utilized across their devices, ensuring that they are not exceeding license limits and are compliant with terms set by software vendors. By continuously monitoring software usage, Mosyle helps in identifying any unauthorized installations or applications that may lead to compliance risks.

In addition to keeping tabs on which software is being used, this monitoring can facilitate effective reporting that aids organizations in making informed decisions about software allocations and licensing needs. Proper tracking of software use also aids in identifying which applications are underutilized, and provides opportunities for license optimization, ultimately supporting cost management strategies.

Other options, while they may support aspects of license management, do not encapsulate the core method that Mosyle employs for ensuring compliance as effectively as monitoring does. For instance, purchasing licenses on behalf of users doesn't inherently manage compliance—it only addresses the acquisition of licenses. Conducting audits and automating renewals can complement a licensing strategy but are not the primary means of managing ongoing license compliance.
