What can be a consequence of not managing software licenses effectively in JAMF Pro?

Not managing software licenses effectively in JAMF Pro can lead to non-compliance with licensing agreements. Software licenses come with specific terms and conditions that must be adhered to in order to legally use that software within an organization. Failure to track or enforce these licenses can result in over-deployment of software, which means using more copies of the software than allowed under the licensing agreement. This can attract legal penalties, financial consequences, and potential damage to the organization's reputation.

Maintaining effective software license management ensures that organizations comply with the agreements set forth by software vendors, helping to prevent any violation that can lead to audits and legal action. Proper licensing management also allows IT departments to manage resources more responsibly and eliminate unnecessary costs associated with unlicensed or over-licensed software.
