Microsoft 365 Licensing: What You Pay for vs What You Actually Use

How much Microsoft 365 licensing waste is hiding in your tenant? Learn how to uncover what you own, what’s actually being used, and where real opportunities exist to optimize licensing spend.

Microsoft 365 licensing can be difficult to understand, even for experienced administrators.

As organizations grow and evolve, licensing environments become increasingly complex.

Licenses are purchased through different agreements, managed across multiple Microsoft admin portals, and tracked through a variety of reports and exports. Over time, this fragmented view makes it difficult to clearly understand what has been purchased, how licenses are being used, and where unnecessary spend may be hiding.

This webinar explores where licensing waste commonly occurs, the cost of licensing drift, and how organizations can gain a unified view of their licensing landscape to:

  • Uncover hidden optimization opportunities
  • Reduce costs and realize real savings
  • Improve license allocation and redirect savings to higher-value initiatives
  • Make more informed decisions about renewals, budgeting, and future investments

What you'll learn
