This template will help you catalog your software, keep track of your software licenses, registration numbers, usernames, passwords, Internet addresses and more.
However, the username is not always important for the software catalog; Adobe software is directly connected to a username or e-mail address. Other software online services, such as Dropbox, work by sending an e-mail and password combination.
As usual, you can download this Excel template free of charge.
Why do I need a Soft License List?
A software license list in Excel can help you manage software assets by tracking license details, including type, expiration dates, and usage rights.
Popular open-source licenses include the MIT, Apache, GPL, LGPL, and BSD licenses.
Proprietary licenses, like those for Microsoft Office or Adobe Creative Cloud, also need to be tracked.
Following data can be collected in the license list:
- Software Title (Name of the software application)
- Version Number
- Vendor (Company that provides the software)
- License Type (e.g., Open Source, Proprietary, SaaS)
- License No (Unique identifier for the license)
- Category (Office, Design, Finances)
- Purchase Date (Date the license was acquired)
- Expiration Date (Date the license expires)
- Number of Users (Number of users allowed by the license)
- Cost (Cost of the license, per month, per year, one time)
- Notes (Any additional information or specific terms)
- Status (e.g., Active, Expired, Renewed)
- Internet URL (Login-Page)
- Username
- Password
