Microsoft Software Asset Management - Manage your software the simple way.


Software licences are assets and should be managed as such. Software Asset Management (SAM) is a best-practice way for you to analyse what software you have, so you can determine what licences you need and manage your software more efficiently.

At Microsoft, we want to work with you openly and honestly on SAM, advising on the processes, tools and resources you’ll need to take full control of your software assets and licences.

Our SAM tools, resources, support and partners can help businesses of all sizes save costs, take accurate inventories of licences and ensure compliance.

To help you take the steps necessary to successfully implement a SAM plan, Microsoft is offering downloadable guides, webcasts, case studies and links to Microsoft SAM Partners who can help you implement SAM within your business.
