Software License
Using software outside your licence scope can trigger six-figure audit claims.
Software licences define the exact scope of permitted use — number of users, devices, deployment environments, and permitted copying. Licence non-compliance, even unintentional, can result in audits, back-billing, and litigation. BrieflyGo maps your actual rights before you deploy.
What BrieflyGo checks
- Licence type (perpetual, subscription, named-user, concurrent)
- Permitted deployment environments (on-prem, cloud, SaaS)
- Number of authorised users or seats
- Sublicensing and distribution rights
- Audit rights and frequency

What risks are detected
Audit rights
Vendor can audit your usage at any time; findings of over-deployment lead to back-payment demands plus penalties.
Narrow deployment rights
"On-premises" licence used in a cloud VM is a licence violation — even on your own virtual infrastructure.
No sublicensing
Distributing a product that includes licensed components without a sublicence right exposes you to claims.
IP indemnification gaps
You may be liable if the licensed software infringes a third party’s IP — even as end user.
