Licensing

Multi-vendor software licensing, renewals, and cost optimization in one place.

Rua Technologies manages subscription planning, renewals, and cost optimization across Microsoft, Adobe, Google, Autodesk, and leading security vendors as an official partner and reseller.

Instead of tracking renewal dates and invoices across a dozen vendor portals, you get one consolidated view and one team accountable for keeping licensing current and correctly sized.

What's included

Licensing managed as an ongoing service, not a once-a-year scramble.

01Plan

Subscription planning & procurement

Right-sized licensing recommendations based on how your teams actually use each platform, not the default plan tier.

  • Microsoft 365, Azure & Dynamics 365 licensing
  • Adobe Creative Cloud and Acrobat plans
  • Google Workspace subscription management
  • Autodesk and security vendor licensing
  • Volume licensing and enterprise agreements

Best for: Organizations juggling multiple vendor subscriptions who want a single licensing partner.

Typical timeline: Initial licensing review typically takes 1 week.

02Renew

Renewal management

Proactive renewal tracking so subscriptions don't lapse, auto-renew at the wrong tier, or get missed entirely.

  • Renewal calendar and advance notice
  • True-up and true-down guidance at renewal
  • Multi-vendor invoice consolidation
  • Contract and enterprise agreement tracking
  • Renewal negotiation support

Best for: Teams that have been caught off guard by a lapsed license or surprise renewal invoice before.

Typical timeline: Renewal tracking is set up during onboarding and runs continuously.

03Optimize

Cost optimization

Regular license audits that catch unused seats, wrong-tier plans, and consolidation opportunities across vendors.

  • Seat utilization and license audits
  • Plan tier right-sizing
  • Duplicate or unused license identification
  • Cost comparison across licensing paths
  • Annual optimization review

Best for: Organizations that suspect they're overpaying for software but haven't had time to audit it.

Typical timeline: License audits typically take 1–2 weeks depending on vendor count.

04Comply

Compliance & audit support

Documentation and license position tracking that keeps you ready for a vendor compliance review.

  • License compliance tracking
  • Vendor audit preparation support
  • Seat count and deployment documentation
  • Named-user vs. device licensing guidance
  • Software asset management records

Best for: Businesses that want to avoid compliance surprises during a vendor audit.

Typical timeline: Compliance documentation is maintained on an ongoing basis.

05Consolidate

Vendor consolidation strategy

A single strategy for how many vendors you actually need, so licensing sprawl doesn't quietly become five different renewal calendars and five different support numbers.

  • Vendor footprint assessment
  • Overlap and redundancy identification
  • Consolidation roadmap and sequencing
  • Single-partner procurement setup
  • Migration support for consolidated platforms

Best for: Organizations that have accumulated licenses across too many vendors and want a simplified path forward.

Typical timeline: Vendor footprint assessment typically completed in 1–2 weeks.

06Report

Licensing reporting & spend visibility

Clear, consolidated reporting on what you're licensed for and what it costs, so budget conversations start from real numbers instead of estimates.

  • Consolidated licensing dashboard
  • Quarterly spend and utilization reports
  • Budget forecasting for renewals
  • Executive-ready summaries
  • Historical spend trend tracking

Best for: Finance and leadership teams that want licensing costs tracked and forecasted, not just paid when invoices arrive.

Typical timeline: First consolidated report typically delivered within 30 days of onboarding.

FAQ

Common questions about licensing.

QWhich vendors do you handle licensing for?

Microsoft, Adobe, Google, Autodesk, Zoho, and security vendors including Trend Micro, Seqrite, Sophos, CrowdStrike, Kaspersky, and ESET.

QCan you consolidate invoices from multiple vendors?

Yes. We consolidate billing visibility across vendors so you're not tracking separate invoices and renewal dates manually.

QDo you help reduce licensing costs?

Yes. Regular audits identify unused seats, wrong-tier plans, and consolidation opportunities that reduce spend without losing functionality.

QWhat happens if a license is about to lapse?

Our renewal tracking flags upcoming renewals well in advance, so you get advance notice and options rather than a lapse notification.

QCan you help with a vendor compliance audit?

Yes. We maintain license position documentation and can support you through a vendor compliance review.
