Every month, Elena lost about 15 working hours just hunting down license keys, resetting activation servers, or telling a researcher, “No, you can’t install that on your new laptop because the old one still holds the license hostage.”

One researcher, Dr. Chen, asked to install a new molecular modeling tool. Elena opened WinUnisoft 4.5, searched the software name, and saw: “No existing licenses found. Free to purchase new.” No guesswork. No accidental overbuying.

Elena had tried free inventory tools before. They showed what was installed, but not who owned the license or when it would expire. WinUnisoft 4.5, she learned, was different.
