License Management Automation

Does anyone have a strategy for License management that they use to stay on top of multiple networks with multiple devices?

We are an MSP and developed a system with the API to manage our clients.

Mloraditch,

Do you have any code you can share?

I don't do the development myself and can't share our code. Sorry!

Hi @IronBones

Depending on how much data you need, or the method of consuming said data, it can be as simple as monitoring inbound dashboard e-mail alerts and reacting to any expired licenses prior to the grace period. 

 

On the other hand, you could run a script that makes the API call getOrganizationLicenses and pull each expirationDate against each licenseKey, comparing them against the current date and alerting on proximity to that expiration date, or parsing the output to a CSV file for review elsewhere. There's a useful three-part guide on the community forums here that details how to use the API with Python.

This was what I am looking for is a script someone has used to find and compare expiration to current dates. We are an MSP as well but have just enough that it is hard to keep up so I was hoping someone had tried to use the API to consolidate the info in a CSV file or email or maybe both.
