# Welcome

Find unused software licenses, review SaaS access, and track AI API costs with LicenseMeter.

LicenseMeter brings Microsoft 365 license findings, SaaS seats and AI API spending into one workspace. Use it to identify accounts that still hold licenses, investigate inactivity, prepare for renewals, and track whether a later sync confirms an issue has been resolved.

LicenseMeter is free to use. The hosted application has no paid tiers or trial limits. You can also run your own installation with Docker.

{% hint style="info" %}
LicenseMeter reads provider data. It does not automatically remove licenses, disable users or change your tenant. Findings are review candidates. Any remediation is a separate administrative action.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.licensemeter.com/welcome.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
