Cloud License Management​

Cloud License Management introduced the following new features and enhancements in October 2025.

AI/ML-driven License Recommendations now available in Flexera One​

note

This feature is available with Cloud License Management

Flexera One Cloud License Management (CLM) now supports AI/ML-based recommendations to help organizations optimize the cost of running Microsoft SQL Server and Windows Server in public cloud environments.

This feature allows customers to optimize software spend for each edition by analyzing resource usage and costs over time for each license model. It recommends the most cost-efficient option Bring Your Own License (BYOL) or Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) for workloads across clouds, regions, and business accounts.

Additionally, it provides actionable insights into underutilized BYOL licenses and their associated costs, helping organizations identify waste and take steps to optimize license usage and reduce unnecessary spend.

With these insights, customers can make data-driven decisions that maximize software cost efficiency and ensure workloads run optimally in the cloud.

You can access the recommendations tab by going to Cloud License Management > Software Insights and Spend Optimization > By Product tab > Right-click on any of the Windows Server cards or SQL Server cards > Drill through > Product details > Recommendations tab.

Contextual data mashup available for Business Services​

This feature is available with IT Visibility With Technology Intelligence Platform.

With this feature, you can now manage contextual data for your business services.
