The quiet cost

Every inactive user is a license you keep paying for.

People change roles, contractors finish, seasonal staff go home. Their Salesforce licenses stay active and renew every year, until someone has time to audit a spreadsheet.

Renewals

You renew seats you can't prove anyone uses.

Manual audits

Someone exports login history every quarter and cleans it up by hand.

Surprises

Deactivating the wrong person means an angry call from the field.

No record

Nobody can show auditors who was removed, when, and why.

How it helps

Set the rules once. License Guard keeps your org clean.

It works the way a careful admin would, every week, without the spreadsheet.

Finds inactive users

Flags anyone who hasn't logged in within the period you choose, like 60 or 90 days.

Warns them first

Sends your own email template before anything happens. Logging in cancels the warning.

Frees the license

Deactivates on schedule and removes their permission sets, so the seat is ready to reuse.

Shows the savings

Tracks licenses reclaimed and estimates what you save at your own license cost.

See it working

Everything happens inside Salesforce.

No new logins, no data leaving your org. License Guard installs as an app and runs on Salesforce's own scheduler.

Reporting

Know exactly what you're getting back.

Licenses reclaimed by month, estimated annual savings, users currently flagged, and who logged back in after a warning.

  • Savings at your average license cost
  • Action queue with every user's status
  • Export for finance and renewals

Questions

What people ask us first

How does License Guard decide someone is inactive?
By their last login. You choose the period, such as 60 or 90 days, and which profiles the rule applies to.
Will people get a warning first?
Yes. License Guard can email them with your template a set number of days before their license is removed. If they log in, the warning is cancelled.
Can I exclude certain users?
Yes. Add exemptions for anyone who should always stay licensed, such as executives, contractors, board members or integration users.
Does it run inside Salesforce?
Yes. It installs from the AppExchange and runs entirely inside your Salesforce org, with no data sent to outside services.
What happens to a deactivated user's records?
Deactivation frees the license and removes their permission sets. The user record and its history stay in Salesforce, so you can reactivate them later if needed.
What does it cost?
License Guard is free on the Salesforce AppExchange. If you'd like help setting it up or reviewing your wider license spend, our team can do that too.
