How companies reduce their licence costs with used standard software

As digitisation progresses, the software needs of a company inevitably increase. Needs-based licensing is already essential for smaller companies with a few employees. The larger the company, the more complex the challenges for software asset management, or SAM for short. This plays a decisive role, especially when it comes to large volumes of standard software for creating, displaying, editing and managing business documents, which are part of the basic equipment in many work areas.
 

In this blog article, we use the example of Adobe Acrobat volume licences to show how even small and medium-sized companies can noticeably relieve their IT budget with used software licences and pass any manufacturer audit.

Adobe Acrobat Volume Licence - more efficiency and sustainability with used software

Adobe Acrobat software is now used in almost every company in numerous organisational units as standard software for the use of PDF documents. Especially in the areas of marketing and sales, customer service, human resources, organisation, procurement, finance and accounting, legal or IT, the versatile use of the platform-independent Portable Document Format (PDF) is indispensable.

Depending on requirements, the standard or the extended professional version is licensed. Both versions offer extensive functions for creating, editing and managing a wide variety of documents. The big advantage is the creation of PDFs from other file formats, especially from the MS Office package, as well as the subsequent further processing in PDF format. In contrast to the standard version, with Acrobat Professional, or Acrobat Pro for short, employees can edit PDF files more extensively, add comments, create and fill out forms, add digital signatures or even export content. Depending on the needs of the workplace, a decision should be made as to whether the higher licence costs for the Pro version are worthwhile or whether the standard version is sufficient.

Although Adobe also offers the cloud service as a rental model, many companies consciously opt for the on-premise solution and increasingly resort to cheaper used software licences. These cover the necessary requirements in many areas and reduce the running licence costs by up to 70 percent depending on the version. Thus, even for a smaller medium-sized company with 100 or more employees, licence cost savings in the four-digit range can be achieved, depending on the licence version and application period.

In addition, by using used software, companies make a sustainable contribution to an active circular economy by extending the usage cycles and saving resources. Sustainable and climate-friendly management will become increasingly important in the coming years, especially in a growth sector such as IT, which is driven by numerous innovations.

Whether Adobe, Microsoft, Oracle or Citrix - all used software licences offered originate 100 percent from transparent sources and come exclusively from the EU.

PREO tip: Sell licences that are no longer needed, either in full or in part

Companies should not simply write off unused or no longer needed Adobe Acrobat volume licences. It makes more economic sense to sell them to a reputable and experienced provider of used software with extensive legal expertise in the licensing business. Our checklist, which can be downloaded free of charge, will help you select a suitable provider. The income generated by the sale expands the existing IT budget and creates new scope for necessary investments. Another plus: the second or multiple use of software products is an important contribution to an active circular economy and more sustainability in IT.
