Micro Focus Licensing Expertise

Manage Micro Focus Licence Metrics

As with the range of software products now owned by Micro Focus, the spread of licence metrics in use is equally daunting. Micro Focus licensing metrics vary across their products and often include ambiguous wording. Common Micro Focus metrics include user-based, processor-based, device based and site-based. Micro Focus customers should make sure they understand how the licence metric is defined for the product they are managing. If there are grey areas in the contract, make sure these are clarified throughout the organisation, especially between Procurement, Product Owners and Legal, who all need to agree.

Micro Focus Audit Defence Strategy

FisherITS can help your organisation to build a Micro Focus audit defence strategy, beginning the moment you receive an audit notification from the vendor. Initially, our team of Micro Focus licensing experts can help to assess the validity and scope of the audit request, ensuring the request is compliant with the audit clause in your Micro Focus contract and clear boundaries are set.

The FisherITS team will help guide communication through the process and prepare an accurate view of your Micro Focus compliance position, enabling your organisation to compare this with any discrepancies identified in the Micro Focus compliance report. If you do need to purchase extra licence entitlement as the result of noncompliance in your audit, FisherITS will use its vast experience with similar audits to help your team to minimize the eventual fee and ensure the purchased software is aimed towards actual usage and your business goals.
