Licensing Audit
We review Microsoft licensing against your roles, actual use and deployed solutions, so you can see which assignments, capacity needs and contract questions need attention.
Preparing for renewal or changing how your teams work?
For finance, procurement and IT teams that need a clearer view of Microsoft licensing before approving changes.
Your licensing review
What’s included
Bring licensing evidence, business needs and deployment details together before deciding what should change.
Entitlements + assignments + capacity
01 / Establish the baseline
Bring supplied licensing records, assignments and deployment information together. Show what is confirmed, what is missing and when the evidence was checked.
Roles + rights + evidence
02 / Connect licenses to work
Compare what roles need to do with assigned licenses and available usage evidence. Low activity is a reason to investigate, not an automatic reason to remove a license.
Options + terms + decisions
03 / Decide with current terms
Explain practical options and their cost, operational and solution implications. Recommendations must be validated against current Microsoft terms and your signed agreements before action.
This is a dated advisory review of the deployment and records in scope. Current Microsoft Product Terms and your signed agreements govern licensing rights. Prices and rules must be checked again before procurement or assignment changes.
How we work
Confirm the products, deployment, records, decision date and people needed, including what is outside the scope.
Bring subscriptions, assignments, environments and capacity together, recording dates, evidence gaps and assumptions.
Compare business needs and access patterns with assignments, available usage evidence and the deployed solution.
Compare options and agree what your licensing, procurement and platform owners must confirm before approving changes.

FAQs
A few practical answers before we talk about your project.
No. We may identify licenses to reassign or remove, but also missing entitlements or capacity. Low usage can reflect seasonal work, leave, adoption issues or incomplete records. Business need, access and operational consequences must be checked before recommending removal.
No. This is an advisory review of agreed deployment evidence and supplied records, not legal advice or Microsoft compliance certification. Licensing rights come from the applicable Microsoft Product Terms and your signed agreement; technical access alone does not establish those rights.
Scope can include relevant Dynamics 365 applications, Power Apps, Power Automate, Power Pages, Copilot Studio, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Dataverse capacity and associated add-ons. We confirm the exact products and agreement context before review.
We agree access to licensing records, assignments, capacity, deployment details and usage evidence through your approved least-privilege process. Licensing, procurement, IT and business owners help confirm the context. Scope, record quality, complexity and availability affect the review’s effort, cost and timing.
Review after material changes to users, roles, applications, environments, architecture, contracts or Microsoft terms. We record the evidence date and agree suitable review points. Prices and licensing rules must be revalidated before a later purchasing or assignment decision.
The audit does not make automatic changes. Your authorized licensing, procurement and platform owners approve and carry out actions after validation. Options may involve licenses, roles, adoption, processes or solution design. Nemely can support follow-on work within a separately agreed scope.
