Ardn Cloud Solutions, a leading innovator in Salesforce-native technology, has announced the launch of License Guard, the first smart automation tool designed specifically to combat Salesforce license waste in large enterprises.

The Hidden Cost of License Sprawl
Organizations frequently accumulate unused Salesforce licenses during periods of rapid change—such as hiring waves, mergers, or major IT initiatives—and often fail to deactivate them later. This overspending, referred to as “license sprawl,” drains millions from annual IT budgets and creates avoidable security risks through orphaned user accounts.

“License waste is the silent cloud tax draining IT budgets,” said Jaimin Patel, Partner at Ardn Cloud Solutions. “License Guard eliminates the guesswork, automating what used to be a manual, error-prone task—and delivering ongoing savings month after month.”

How LicenseGuard Works - License Guard combines native Salesforce scheduling with a proprietary automation engine to:
a) Continuously scan user activity and flag inactive accounts.
b) Send automated, branded warning emails to inactive users.
c) Auto-deactivate licenses and remove permission sets.
d) Log all actions in real time, producing compliance-ready reports.
e) Allow flexible exemptions to protect key users and roles.

Smarter Renewals with Real-Time Insight
License Guard transforms raw usage data into executive-ready dashboards—equipping CFOs, COOs, and procurement leads with the insights needed to optimize renewals and drive better vendor negotiations.

“License Guard is more than a cost-saver; it’s a negotiation weapon,” said Deep Patel, Partner at Ardn Cloud Solutions. “Our clients now walk into renewal conversations with confidence and hard data—and the results speak for themselves.”

Availability
LicenseGuard is available immediately on the Salesforce AppExchange.
