Experience a truly non-biased solution
You must have a clear picture of your license usage to navigate software true-ups or dive into cloud migration projects. Hyperscale assessment tools can help, but they are bias and shouldn’t be calling the shots. They work best as a checkpoint after you’ve chosen a cloud provider and mapped out your hybrid strategy.
What’s often missing is a discovery tool that gives you a full inventory of your SQL Server licenses—along with the insights you need to make smart business decisions. Microsoft used to provide unbiased software inventories for free, but now it’s up to organizations to find their own way to get critical visibility into SQL Server operations.

Preparing for a Microsoft True-up?
Every year, Microsoft requires you to align your licensing agreement with actual software usage. It’s a high-stakes process—and without the right data, it’s easy to get it wrong.
Microsoft no longer offers a free, unbiased toolkit. That means you’re on your own—either self-assess or bring in a SAM expert. Both paths can be time-consuming and expensive.
UpSearch Authorize puts you in control. Audit licenses as often as you like, save time, reduce risks, and give your team the room to adjust before your anniversary date.
