Enter one product's purchased, assigned, installed and active seats, plus the annual cost per seat. The page keeps those four numbers apart and shows an identified opportunity pending review. Nothing you type is sent to Smantix.
The worked example is 96 purchased, 91 assigned, 88 installed, 42 active, at 180 dollars a seat. A per-user agreement uses assigned people. Spare seats are 5. Assigned seats with no recent activity are 49. The identified opportunity is 54 times 180 dollars, which is 9,720 dollars a year, pending review.
Unused seats are not automatically reclaimable spend. The result is not a savings guarantee. Smantix reads installs and usage from devices, then keeps an identified opportunity separate from a realised saving.
Compare seats you bought with the seats the agreement uses. A per-user agreement uses assigned people. A per-device agreement uses installed devices. Add seats with no recent activity, then multiply by the annual cost per seat. The result is an identified opportunity pending review.
Assigned means people or devices given a seat. Installed means devices where the software is present. Active means seats with recent use. A per-user estimate uses assigned seats and does not add extra installs to the cost.
The figure is arithmetic on the numbers you type. A seat can be unused because nobody was assigned it, because it was assigned and not opened, or because use was not measured. An identified opportunity is not reclaimable spend until a cancellation, a bill reduction, or a renewal change is recorded.
Across the estate
The calculator uses numbers you already have. Smantix collects installed software and application usage, then puts purchased, assigned, installed and active seats on one license position.
