## How Contracko keeps license and SaaS contract work organized

Use contract types, custom fields, AI extraction, and reminders to make the details inside important agreements visible.

### [Standardize how your team tracks licenses](https://contracko.com/features/contract-tracking)
Use Contracko's software license contract type template to capture seat counts, true-up, and renewal terms, without setting up fields from scratch.

### [Automatically extract license and SaaS details](https://contracko.com/features/contract-data-extraction)
Let AI extract license counts, support terms, true-up obligations, and renewal or cancellation dates from license and SaaS agreements.

### [Find license risks and unusual terms faster](https://contracko.com/tools/software-license-review)
Let AI flag risks, liabilities, obligations, and missing or unclear contract terms before your team follows up.

### [Stay ahead of license and SaaS renewals](https://contracko.com/features/expiration-reminder)
Keep renewals, expirations, notice periods, review milestones, and other contract events visible with automated reminders.

## License terms and renewal dates spread across a dozen vendors

### One workspace for every license and subscription

Store enterprise license agreements, EULAs, and SaaS order forms by vendor so the current terms are searchable instead of buried in inboxes.

### See seat counts, true-ups, and renewal terms as fields

Extract license counts, support terms, true-up obligations, and renewal or cancellation windows as structured fields you can filter and report on.

### Keep license owners and reminders attached

Assign an owner to every license and get reminders before true-up windows, support renewals, or cancellation deadlines arrive.

## Who this helps across IT, procurement, and finance

## Frequently asked questions

What to expect, and what not to expect, from this solution.

- **Q:** What is software license management?
  **A:** Software license management centralizes license agreements and SaaS subscriptions, tracks seat counts and terms, and surfaces renewal, true-up, and cancellation dates so IT and procurement teams do not rely on spreadsheets.

- **Q:** How is this different from the SaaS contract management use case?
  **A:** The [SaaS contract management page](https://contracko.com/usecases/saas-contract-management) shows how one team gets started with Contracko. This solution is the full workspace: license contract types, AI extraction, seat and true-up fields, owners, and renewal reminders across your whole software portfolio.

- **Q:** Can we get reminders for license and SaaS renewals?
  **A:** Yes. Track renewal and cancellation dates in Contracko, or start with the free [software license renewal reminder](https://contracko.com/contract-reminder-tools/software-license-renewal-reminder) or [SaaS contract renewal reminder](https://contracko.com/contract-reminder-tools/saas-contract-renewal-reminder) tools to surface dates from a single agreement.

- **Q:** Does this cover vendor contracts outside of software?
  **A:** Yes, though if most of your contracts are non-software suppliers, the [vendor contract management](https://contracko.com/usecases/vendor-contract-management) page covers spend commitments, SLAs, and supplier renewals for that category.

- **Q:** Can we review license risk with AI?
  **A:** Yes. The free [software license review tool](https://contracko.com/tools/software-license-review) flags risks, obligations, and unusual terms in a single license agreement before you commit to tracking the whole portfolio in Contracko.

- **Q:** Do you support enterprise access controls for license records?
  **A:** Yes. On the Big Business plan you can require single sign-on through your identity provider, with self-serve OIDC for Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, and Google Workspace.
