Licenses and spend

Blocking an account doesn't always stop the charge.

On most platforms, the account of someone who already left keeps being paid for until someone releases its license and reduces the purchased quantity. Almost nobody does it in time. License Control takes care of it.

Does blocking an account stop the charge?

We checked each platform's documentation. For most of them, the answer is no.

What it does

Three things almost nobody does in time today

1

Releases the license

When someone leaves, besides blocking their account it removes the license, after transferring whatever belongs to the company. Permanent deletion waits for the period you define.

2

Tells you what to reduce, and by when

It tells you how many paid licenses are unused on each platform, what they cost per month and the date by which you can reduce them, with that platform's exact steps.

3

Keeps it measured

Every month you see how many licenses were released, how many you reduced and how much you stopped paying. No spreadsheets.

What we don't promise

No platform lets a third party reduce the quantity you purchased: that last step is done by your company, on each platform's billing page. License Control gets everything else done and reminds you in time, with the exact steps.

Software purchasing

And when something has to be bought, it is requested in order

Licenses are not only released: they are also requested, approved and paid for. Software purchasing closes that loop in five steps and registers subscriptions without a connector so they enter license control.

See Software purchasing
  1. 01Someone requests

    From the company catalog or a new tool: for whom, why and for how long.

  2. 02The manager approves

    One click if it is in the catalog. If it is new, Control reviews it (budget and cost center) and then Purchasing.

  3. 03Purchasing buys

    Purchase order as PDF, credentials and vendor. If the platform has a connector, the account is created automatically.

  4. 04Treasury pays

    Corporate card or bank transfer, billing period and invoice reminder. Everything stays linked to the request.

  5. 05Renew or cancel

    A notice 30 days before each renewal. If the person leaves, their license is released and drops out of the spend.

Software inventory

What the company pays for, with price, vendor, owner and renewal date, matched against the real accounts on every connected platform.

Questions

What people search about licenses

What is software license management?

Knowing how many licenses the company bought, how many are in use and how many sit in blocked accounts, per platform, and acting before the renewal. Mekovault does it for Google Workspace and for every per-platform mini app; anything without a connector is registered in Software purchasing.

How do I find unused licenses?

On the Licenses screen: per platform you see purchased, in use and in blocked accounts, what they cost per month and until when you can reduce them. The license calculator gives you an estimate before connecting anything.

Does Mekovault keep a software inventory?

Yes: the catalog of what the company pays for, with price, vendor, contract and owner, matched against the real accounts. Subscriptions without a connector are registered by hand in Software purchasing.

Does it tell me when to renew or cancel?

30 days before each renewal, with that platform's unused licenses and the exact steps to reduce the contracted quantity. That last step is done by your company; no platform lets a third party do it.

How much does License control cost?

Nothing extra: it is included in Google Workspace and in every per-platform mini app. Software purchasing, which adds the purchase and payment flow, is a module with its own price.

Want to know how much you're overpaying?

License control works today with Google Workspace and with the subscriptions registered in Purchases. The other platforms are added one by one; meanwhile we tell you exactly what to change in each console.
