If you’re a CFO or Salesforce admin, you’ve probably asked yourself this:
“How many of our Salesforce licenses are actually being used?”
The truth is, most companies overspend on Salesforce CRM because of inactive users.
It’s not about whether Salesforce is valuable—it’s about whether every single license is.
That’s where Salesforce license management comes in.
And if you don’t have the right system in place, you’re likely paying for seats that sit empty.
The Hidden Cost of Inactive Licenses
Licenses aren’t cheap.
Yet when employees leave, shift roles, or stop logging in, their licenses often remain active.
Without proper application license management, it’s easy to miss these gaps.
- You end up paying for users who don’t exist in your workflow.
- Compliance teams get frustrated because unused seats create audit headaches.
- Admins spend hours manually tracking logins instead of focusing on higher-value work.
Multiply that across dozens—or hundreds—of licenses, and you’re burning money.
Why Manual Tracking Fails
Sure, you can run reports.
You can even build custom dashboards in Salesforce CRM.
But here’s the catch:
- Reports are snapshots, not ongoing monitoring. They don’t automate anything.
- Admins aren’t detectives. Manually checking logins eats up time and leads to missed accounts.
- Humans make mistakes. One skipped deactivation can cost thousands per year.
The bottom line: manual tracking isn’t scalable.
Enter License Guard: Automated Salesforce License Management
This is where License Guard changes the game.
It’s a Salesforce-native tool built specifically to help organizations take back control of their licenses.
Here’s how it works:
- Install from AppExchange in just a few clicks—no coding needed.
- Set your rules. Decide how long a user can be inactive before action is taken.
- Warn before deactivation. Send automated email reminders so users aren’t surprised.
- Deactivate automatically. License Guard frees up unused seats while keeping logs for compliance.
Think of it as autopilot for application license management.
Why CFOs Love It
CFOs don’t want to chase admin reports—they want savings.
- Instant ROI: Stop paying for licenses nobody touches.
- Predictable budgets: Control and optimize spend across departments.
- Peace of mind: Every deactivation is tracked and auditable.
Why Admins Love It
Admins get their hours back.
- No more chasing down department heads for “inactive users.”
- No more manual deactivations.
- More time to focus on projects that actually move Salesforce CRM forward.
