## Reminder guidance for this contract type

### Software licenses renew in pieces

A software license agreement is rarely a single renewal event. The base license term renews on one schedule, support and maintenance renew on another (often with different terms), and any usage-based components renew via a true-up. Treating the license as a single contract with a single renewal date hides the support gap that opens when the maintenance window expires three months ahead of the license. Useful license renewal tooling separates these into distinct reminders, each with the right owner: IT for usage and deployment, legal for the agreement itself, finance for the budget.

### True-ups and audits are the same conversation

Software vendors use the renewal window as the natural moment to ask whether actual usage matches contracted usage. That's the true-up. Done well, the true-up is a routine internal exercise. Done badly, it becomes a vendor-initiated audit with significant exposure if usage exceeds the licensed amount. The trick is to run the true-up internally before the vendor asks. A reminder that fires 120 days before the license term ends — surfacing both the renewal date and the true-up window — gives IT enough lead time to clean up the deployment without external pressure.

## Quick answers

Short answers to the questions we get most about reminder extraction.

- **Q:** How does the software license renewal reminder work?
  **A:** Upload your software license agreement as a PDF or DOCX. We run an AI extraction on the document, find the license terms, support renewal dates, audit windows, and true-up obligations, and suggest reminder dates for each. You can then start a free Contracko trial to track everything automatically with email reminders, or just note the dates yourself.

- **Q:** What will the tool find in my software license agreement?
  **A:** It surfaces the license terms, support renewal dates, audit windows, and true-up obligations. Each item comes with the source clause from your software license agreement so you can verify before you schedule anything.

- **Q:** What happens after the extraction?
  **A:** You'll see a list of suggested reminders pulled from your contract, each anchored to the clause it came from. From there you can start a free Contracko trial to track them automatically with email alerts and owner assignments, or just note the dates yourself if that's all you need.

- **Q:** How accurate is the AI extraction?
  **A:** Every suggested reminder is anchored to the specific clause it came from, so you can verify each one before scheduling. The extraction works best on standard business contracts. Support renewal can sit on a different cadence from the license term — verify both dates before deciding what to schedule.

- **Q:** What happens to my contract after I upload it?
  **A:** Your contract is transmitted over TLS encryption and processed by AI providers under terms that exclude training on your data. If you start a Contracko trial, the file moves into your private workspace and stays there.
