The License Renewal Comparison Tool supports you in the annual license renewal process.

The tool allows you to compare the license inventory of your license servers with the License Renewal Portal's download records. These portal downloads (Renewed....csv and To-Be-Renewed....csv) show which licenses were already renewed, and which licenses still need to be renewed.

You must have visited the License Renewal Portal and your license servers before running the License Renewal Comparison Tool, so that those inputs to the tool are already available.

The License Renewal Comparison Tool displays the download records, the license inventory of your license servers, and any mismatching in a tabular format. Having all this information in one place will make any licensing discrepancies visible.
