Stop paying for software no one uses.
License Checker compares the licenses you pay for against the users actually engaging with each application. Inactive users, dormant licenses, wasted spend. You walk into every renewal with hard data on your side of the table.

You are paying for licenses no one is using. You just don't know which ones.
Industry studies put SaaS waste at 25 to 38% of total spend. For a mid sized enterprise, that is hundreds of thousands of euros every year, signed off, billed, forgotten. The data exists. The visibility does not.
Shelfware is normal, and invisible
You buy 1,000 licenses. 700 are actively used. The other 300 sit on the shelf. Some users left two years ago, some never connected, some logged in once. You keep paying for all of them, because no one can prove which licenses are dormant.
Vendor reporting is not your friend
Native vendor dashboards count "active in the last 90 days" as engagement. A single login counts the same as daily use. The metric is designed to maximize the renewal, not to show you the truth. Convenient for them.
Renewal happens on gut feeling
Six weeks before renewal, procurement asks IT: "do we need the same number of seats?" IT shrugs. The business shrugs. Everyone signs off on the same volume, year after year, because no one has the data to argue otherwise.
SaaS prices only go one way
Year after year, SaaS list prices go up 8 to 15%. Without proof of where you are over licensed, every annual conversation costs you more. License Checker is the data your CFO needs to actually negotiate.
Every license, every user, every euro.
License Checker connects to every application your teams use and surfaces the data your vendor will not give you: total licenses paid, active users, users dormant for 30, 60, 90 days, and the estimated cost of every inactive seat.
No more spreadsheets pulled together from five different admin consoles. No more arguments about "active" versus "logged in once". Real usage data, in one place, for every SaaS in your stack.
See how it works →Walk into every renewal with the proof in your hand.
"You sold us 1,000 seats. Here is the report showing 312 of those users have not opened the platform in six months. We will renew for 700." That is a different conversation from the one you have been having.
Customers using License Checker typically identify between 15 and 30% of unused capacity. On a six figure annual contract, that is tens of thousands of euros saved on a single renewal. Across your stack, the savings fund the rest of your Lemon deployment several times over.
When your DAP belongs to your software vendor, who is it actually working for?
Several major Digital Adoption Platforms are now owned by, or deeply partnered with, the software vendors they are supposed to help you adopt. Imagine the conflict of interest in building a feature that helps you cut spending with the very vendors who own them.
Lemon Learning is independent of every software vendor we integrate with. We do not get bonuses when your Salesforce contract grows. We do not lose anything when your Workday seat count drops.
Our success is your success. License Checker is the proof that the two are not the same thing.
Ask your current DAP vendor what their roadmap is for helping you reduce SaaS license spend.
Ask them how their commercial relationships with software vendors influence their feature priorities.
Ask them if they would still recommend cutting a vendor's seat count by 30% if it were the right answer.
We will happily answer all three. So should they.
Activate. Measure. Save.
No content to create. No project to scope. License Checker starts collecting data the day you switch it on, and surfaces savings opportunities within the first 30 days.
Switch it on. No setup project.
License Checker leverages the Lemon overlay already running on your applications. Activate the feature, declare the number of licenses you currently pay for, and the tracking starts immediately. No new integration to build, no admin console to wire up, no consulting hours required.
Watch the truth emerge, application by application.
Within a week, you see active versus inactive users per application. Within a month, you see usage trends, peak periods, and per user time spent. Filter by team, by region, by license type. Find the 30% of users who never actually use what you bought for them.
Reallocate, downsize, or renegotiate.
Three levers on the same data. Reallocate dormant seats to teams who actually need them. Downsize at next renewal with hard evidence. Renegotiate pricing using documented usage. The same dashboard supports all three conversations, with the same source of truth.
From IT to FinOps to procurement, one shared source of truth.
Justify the IT budget with data, not narrative
Walk into the steering committee with proof that every euro spent on software is delivering value. And proof of exactly which euros are not. Convert the IT budget from a cost center conversation into a value conversation.
Negotiate with proof, not posture
Replace the annual "we think we use less" conversation with "here is the exact report". License Checker turns procurement into a data driven negotiation lead, not a budget gatekeeper.
SaaS spend without the surprises
SaaS subscriptions have quietly become one of the top three operating cost lines in most enterprises. License Checker gives finance the visibility it has been asking for, with the granularity to forecast, allocate, and challenge every renewal.
What customers tell us when they see their first report.
We thought we had a 10% over licensing problem. The first report showed 28%. The renewal conversation went very differently after that.
The savings on one CRM renewal paid for our entire Lemon deployment for the next three years. And we still have the rest of the stack to optimize.
We asked our previous DAP for this feature for three years. They never built it. Now I understand why.

How is this different from a software asset management (SAM) tool?
SAM tools focus on contract compliance and entitlements: are you within your licensing terms? License Checker focuses on real engagement and waste detection: are these licenses being used. The two are complementary, but Lemon is faster to activate, sits on top of every application without integration projects, and answers the question your CFO actually asks.
Which applications does License Checker cover?
Every application your Lemon overlay already runs on. SaaS platforms like Salesforce, Workday, Microsoft 365, ServiceNow, SAP. In house applications. Desktop tools. If Lemon can guide users on it, License Checker can measure it.
How is this different from the usage reports my SaaS vendor already gives me?
Vendor reports define "active" generously. A single login in a 90 day window often counts. Lemon measures real engagement: time spent, features used, depth of usage. The difference between "logged in once" and "uses it daily" is the difference between a renewal you sign and a renewal you renegotiate.
Will users know they are being measured?
Lemon measures interaction patterns at the application level: time spent, features visited, navigation events. We never access the content users view or enter. Data is hosted in Europe, fully RGPD compliant. As with any analytics deployment, transparency with employees is part of the standard rollout playbook we share with every customer.
How fast do customers actually save money?
First insights within 7 days of activation. Most customers identify their first significant savings opportunity within the first 30 days. The actual financial saving lands at the next renewal cycle for the application in question, typically 3 to 12 months away depending on your contract calendar.
What if we want to keep extra seats for flexibility?
Perfectly valid. License Checker still helps: you walk into the renewal with proof of real usage and renegotiate the per seat price down to reflect the actual delivered value. The data shifts every negotiation in your favor, even when the seat count stays the same.
