Microsoft licensing is complex and not working for you by design.

Complex rules, moving targets, and penalties for getting it wrong. Most organisations don't know their position until an audit forces the issue.

with SOLAR — same output

Download the output and continue your discussion with architects, internal stakeholders, or your client or third-party consultancy firm. Be prepared for the first conversation.

Challenge 1
You don't know if you're compliant
Your server estate changes constantly. Licenses don't keep up. The gap is invisible until it isn't.
Invisible risk
Challenge 2
Renewals arrive before you have answers
Without a clear picture, you renew on assumptions — and overpay for licenses you don't need or under-buy the ones you do.
Costly
Challenge 3
Manual analysis takes weeks, sometimes months
Spreadsheets, consultants, fragmented data. The process is expensive, slow, and still produces guesswork.
Error-prone
With SOLAR
Same output. Hours, not weeks.
Upload, clarify, get a defensible licensing position — fully auditable and ready to act on.
Hours

Three steps to complete clarity.

No spreadsheets. No guesswork. SOLAR guides you from raw server data to a defensible licensing position.

Step 01
Collect
Upload your RVTools export, MAP Toolkit output, or run the SOLAR Collector script. SOLAR recognises and ingests everything automatically.
Step 02
Clarify
SOLAR surfaces data gaps with intelligent questions. Your client answers directly in the tool — dropdowns, confirmations, assumptions. Tracked and auditable.
Step 03
Act
SOLAR computes the optimal licensing model, shows you the gap versus what you own, and produces a clear, exportable recommendation. Ready to act on.

Every answer, in one place.

SOLAR produces a complete picture of your Microsoft licensing position — Windows Server, SQL Server, and System Center.
