Potential SaaS License Savings
Discover and Track License Data Accurately
Reduce Manual Entitlement Upkeep
Sync seats and assignments from supported sources such as Microsoft 365, Okta, and Azure, reducing manual entry while keeping each license tied to its source data.
Detect Installed Software at Scale
Use the ITAM Agent to identify applications across supported Windows, macOS, and Linux devices, giving IT a measured view of where licensed software is deployed.
Reconcile Records Against Installs
Compare entitlements with detected installations, then update status and installation views so IT can review where assignments and actual deployments differ.
Identify Potential Entitlement Gaps
Surface every device with a software installation that does not match a user entitlement, so IT can identify license gaps before an audit.
Distinguish Assignment From Usage
Use Software Metering and Chrome Browser Tracking to compare assigned entitlements, so IT can identify licenses with little use for review before the next renewal cycle.
Investigate With Connected Context
Connect every license to the device on the IT Graph to understand ownership, installation, and assignment details before resolving discrepancies.

Entitlement Sources
Bring Entitlements Into One View
Entitlement data often sits across vendor admin centers, identity platforms, and spreadsheets. Set eligible licenses to Automatic mode to sync assignments from a supported connected source. Microsoft 365 imports plans, total seats, entitlements, start and end dates, and groups multi-application licenses into suites, reducing manual setup and data entry.
Install Detection
Match Detected Applications to License Records
Entitlements show what the organization can use, not where software is installed. The ITAM Agent detects applications across supported Windows, macOS, and Linux devices, including remote endpoints. AssetSonar associates those installations with software and device records, so IT can compare deployment with the license instead of rebuilding an inventory.
License Reconciliation
Turn Reconciliation Into Actionable Insights
Reconcile licenses from the Software License Details page when entitlement and installation records drift apart. AssetSonar refreshes relevant Agent data, evaluates user-, machine-, or user-and-machine-based criteria, and updates entitlement statuses plus Assigned and Unassigned Installations, giving IT a focused list of records to review and act on.
Entitlement Gaps
Find Entitlement Gaps Before Audit Review
Seat counts do not show where deployment and authorization differ. Assigned Installations shows entitled users with software detected on checked-out devices. Unassigned Installation surfaces software without the expected entitlement, including installs on unassigned devices, so IT can investigate and choose the supported entitlement or remediation action.
Usage Signals
Compare Assigned Access With Recorded Usage
Software Metering identifies licensed applications that are rarely or never opened, while Chrome Browser Tracking adds activity data for browser and cloud applications. Set 30-, 60-, or 90-day inactivity thresholds to build a ghost-license list. Review each entitled user’s billed or unbilled status before changing access, seat counts, or renewal plans

Frequently Asked Questions
AssetSonar combines entitlement synchronization, endpoint discovery, and license reconciliation. Eligible licenses can import assignment data from supported connected sources, while the ITAM Agent detects installed applications across Windows, macOS, and Linux devices. Running “Reconcile” compares installations with configured entitlement criteria and updates assigned and unassigned installation records.
Yes. Through a supported Microsoft 365 connection, AssetSonar can import license plans, seat totals, entitlements, assignment data, and relevant dates. Eligible licenses can remain associated with their source in Automatic mode, reducing manual record maintenance. IT teams can review this entitlement data alongside detected installations and available activity signals.
Yes. The AssetSonar ITAM Agent detects installed applications on supported Windows, macOS, and Linux endpoints, including devices used outside the corporate network. It connects detections with related software and device records so IT can review deployments centrally. The Agent must be installed on the endpoints being inventoried, and discovery does not guarantee extraction of a valid license key from every application.
AssetSonar places installations without the expected entitlement in the Unassigned Installations view. IT can open the related software, user, device, and license records to investigate ownership and assignment details, then assign an appropriate entitlement or take another supported action. An unmatched installation is a review signal rather than automatic proof of noncompliance.
AssetSonar can combine browser activity, available software-metering data, and entitlement information from supported connected sources to help IT compare assigned access with recorded usage. Coverage depends on the application, integration, browser, and tracking method configured, so the feature should not be interpreted as universal discovery of every SaaS application or license agreement.
