LicenseQ helps you secure the best terms for your Microsoft agreements, such as the Enterprise Agreement, CSP, or MCA-E.
Microsoft True-up Support
At LicenseQ, we streamline the entire Microsoft True-up process, helping you stay compliant, optimize your licenses, and reduce costs—all while minimizing risks and ensuring your licensing strategy supports your business goals.
Stay compliant, in control and optimized
As part of your Microsoft Enterprise Agreement, you’re required to review and report any changes to your license usage each year. LicenseQ takes the burden of the True-up process off your shoulders. We help with the annual count of your Microsoft licenses, report any surpluses or shortages, and mitigate discrepancies by exploring the best contractual solutions.
How LicenseQ helps you with your Microsoft True-up:
- Accurate license assessment: We deliver a comprehensive inventory of all your Microsoft entitlements across cloud, on-premises, and support, evaluating year-over-year changes so you always know where you stand
- Azure usage discovery: Many organizations struggle to track Azure usage due to limited governance or insights. We’ll analyze your spending, assess Azure Hybrid Benefit usage, and identify potential optimizations like Reserved Instances, Savings Plans, and technical adjustments to support smarter financial decisions.
- New demand, new strategy: A lot can change in a year. Whether your organization experiences growth, decline, or new demand, we ensure your Microsoft licensing strategy adapts to your current needs.
- Internal audit capability: Our service can also be framed as an internal audit, ensuring compliance with Microsoft’s rules and helping you avoid unexpected costs.

“At LicenseQ, we see the True-up process as an opportunity, not just a requirement. It’s a chance to optimize your licensing. Our goal is to make this process seamless and valuable for every client.”
Erik Hollander, Founder of LicenseQ
