Demystifying SAM Metrics: Understanding License Behavior Across Entitlements
Details
Software asset management is only as strong as your understanding of license behavior. In this session, we break down the nuances of concurrent, subscription, and token-based licenses and how their unique reporting needs impact your effective license position. Participants will learn techniques to visualize usage, identify trends, and make strategic license decisions confidently.
Participants Will Learn:
- How different license entitlements (concurrent, subscription, token-based) behave in practice and how those behaviors affect effective license position
- Which usage and reporting metrics accurately represent real consumption versus misleading raw data
- How to interpret usage trends to support confident optimization, compliance, and renewal decisions
