Licensing
Licensing coverage across vendor paper, metrics, audits, and renewal math. Posts here treat the contract as the object: processors, Named User Plus, named users, seats, and what changes when the same SKU moves to a listed cloud.
This is the commercial parent file, not a product tour and not company news. Vendor-only questions belong in Microsoft, Oracle, VMware, SAP, Adobe, or the other child categories. Use this archive when the question still spans more than one publisher.
