Software asset management only earns its keep when it tells you something you didn’t already know: which licences are sitting idle, which renewals are quietly overpriced, and which applications nobody has opened in months. That is the gap Licenseware is built to close, and it is why we continue to recommend it to The SAM Club clients as the analysis and reporting layer behind a well-run SAM programme.

Licenseware has moved quickly over the past few months, and the changes are worth flagging directly. Here is what’s new, what it means for your software estate, and what it would cost to run across your organisation.

Broader integrations: NinjaOne, Intune, Lansweeper and more

Licenseware now connects directly to NinjaOne, pulling device inventory, installed software, and asset status straight from your NinjaOne tenant with no CSV exports and no manual refreshes. It joins an already substantial list of native connectors, including Microsoft Intune, Lansweeper, Microsoft Graph (for Microsoft 365 and Entra ID), ManageEngine Endpoint Central, Proactivanet, ServiceNow, HCL BigFix, and a wide range of Oracle, VMware, and Red Hat data sources.

In total, Licenseware now reads from over 58 data sources across 24 vendors. If your environment already runs on one of these platforms, the practical effect is that your licence position stays current automatically, rather than being reconstructed every quarter from spreadsheets. It’s worth being clear about what these connectors do and don’t provide: NinjaOne, Lansweeper, and most of the other integrations feed in inventory, which devices exist, what’s installed, and current asset status, but they stop short of telling you when an application was last actually used. For that level of detail, Collector is the piece that does the work; more on that below. The full, current list of supported sources is published at

licenseware.io/data-sources.

Their own Collector agent: the one source that gives you true usage data

This is where Licenseware’s own Collector agent earns its place, even in environments already covered by NinjaOne, Lansweeper, or another RMM or discovery tool. Collector is a lightweight, cross-platform daemon for Linux, Windows, and macOS devices and servers that wakes on a schedule, takes inventory, and goes back to sleep. Unlike the third-party integrations above, it goes beyond standard software and hardware inventory to capture what is actually running, not just what is installed.

That distinction is the one that tends to save the most money, and it is not something NinjaOne, Lansweeper, Intune, or the other connectors provide. Collector records when software was genuinely last used, at the process level, rather than relying on install dates or licence assignment records. For renewal planning, that means you can walk into a vendor conversation already knowing which seats have gone cold, and cut or renegotiate before you renew rather than after. More detail on Collector is available at

licenseware.io/apps/collector.

What this means for how we manage your renewals

For The SAM Club, this isn’t just data sitting inside Licenseware. It lets us keep the software asset register we hold for you up to date in Monday.com, and start populating the required number of licences column against your actual licensed quantity. That side-by-side comparison is what flags over-licensing and under-licensing before a renewal lands on your desk, so when we come to you with a renewal recommendation, it’s built on what your users are genuinely using, not just what was purchased last time.

Backed for growth: an €800,000 seed round

In July 2026, Licenseware closed an approximately €800,000 funding round led by BCR Seed Starter, the first bank-backed corporate venture capital fund in Romania, alongside Inspire Capital, the Bravva Angels investor community, and existing shareholders. The funding is being used to expand Licenseware’s development team further and accelerate international expansion into mature markets including the UK, US, and EU, building on the pace of releases the product has already shown this year.

For clients already using or considering Licenseware, this is a useful signal: the platform has institutional backing behind it and is scaling up the engineering team driving its roadmap. Full details are covered in Licenseware’s own announcement at

What’s coming: a revamped interface and SaaS discovery

Licenseware has confirmed a refreshed interface with deeper per-user analysis, giving IT and procurement teams a clearer view of consumption at the individual level rather than just at the device or licence-pool level. Alongside this, they are building out SaaS application discovery, aimed at surfacing the subscription sprawl that traditional SAM tools were never designed to see. Both are targeted for availability by the end of September 2026.

Pricing that changes the economics of SAM

Licenseware is priced at $3.36 per device, per annum. Set against the established enterprise SAM tools such as Snow Software, License Dashboard, Flexera, and Xensam, that price point is unusually low for the depth of analysis and reporting on offer. Enterprise SAM licensing has traditionally been sold at a cost per device that puts it out of reach for many mid-market organisations; Licenseware’s model brings that same category of insight within reach without the multi-year contract or the six-figure minimum spend that often comes with the incumbents.

To put a number on it, here is what that looks like for a typical mid-sized organisation:

For a 500-user firm running 800 devices and servers, that works out to $2,688 per annum for platform access covering compliance reporting, cost optimisation analysis, a growing set of automated inventory integrations, and true last-used data via Collector. Against the licence overspend, audit exposure, and shelfware that most organisations of this size are carrying unknowingly, the benefits comfortably outweigh the cost.
