Renewal Manager

Renewal Manager lets you collect, track, and manage contractual and software maintenance renewals independent of the software license supplier or distribution channel.

When you log into Renewal Manager for the first time, the application will set up a session for you. It will retrieve all the information from your agreements purchased through SoftwareOne. This may take several seconds, depending on the data volume.

Summary Page

The Renewal Manager Summary Page shows:

  • Navigation tabs – Agreements, Costs, Savings Analysis and Products Overview

  • Tiles with aggregated data – Ended Period, Today’s Tasks and Ending Period

  • Advanced search

Navigation Tabs

The main navigation allows you to easily navigate to different areas in Renewal Manager such as Summary, Agreements, Costs, Saving Analysis, and Products Overview.

Tiles with Aggregated Data

There are 3 columns that show tiles with aggregated data:

  1. Past Period – shows information relating to agreements that have ended within the selected period. By selecting the preferred period from the dropdown you are able to customize the summary page.

  2. Today’s Tasks – highlights tasks that should be addressed quickly.

    • Renewals Overdue: Agreements that have past their renewal date and the renewal process is not yet completed.

    • Agreements Added: Newly added Agreements

    • Add Agreements Manually

  3. Future Period – shows aggregated data from future periods you select from the dropdown.

The links in the tiles will take you to the list of agreements with filters applied. This allows you to see the full list of agreements that have been aggregated into the tiles.

Add Agreements Manually

Renewal Manager is not limited to agreements and software purchased through SoftwareONE. The “Add Agreements Manually” option – lets you add agreements to Renewal Manager that have not been purchased through SoftwareONE.

After entering the data (at least the mandatory fields) click “Save”. You will then see the Agreement Details Page for the agreement you have just created. After you have registered an agreement you may want to add product and cost information to this agreement as a second step.

Advanced Search

Advanced search gives you the option to narrow down the agreements that are aggregated into tiles. Search filters make it possible to present the aggregated data that is of interest to you.

Agreements Page

On the Agreements tab, you can:

  1. Define filters for advanced search

  2. See a list of all agreements including customization functions

  3. Select multiple bulk actions to be carried out

Agreements List

The Agreements list shows all agreements either purchased through SoftwareONE, imported from Entitlement Manager, or registered manually. All agreements are divided into 4 groups (sub-tabs are visible above the agreements list).

Sub Tab – Agreements

This list shows agreements with a defined end date. This means that for those agreements, it is necessary to define a certain date in the future when the agreement must be renewed or terminated.

Sub Tab – Evergreen Agreements

This list shows agreements which do not have an end date. For example, Transactional License Agreements for perpetual licenses without any maintenance will be listed in this sub-tab. Also, Master Agreements like Microsoft MPSA or Adobe VIP Agreements can be found in here.

Sub Tab – Archive

This list shows the agreements that have been archived. You can archive agreements if they have been set to ‘Renewed’ or ‘Terminated’. If the renewal process for an agreement is currently “in progress”, you will not be able to archive it.

You can archive single agreements by using the “action” available in the grid view. If you want to archive multiple agreements in one go, use the bulk action option.

Sub Tab – Under Maintenance

This list shows new agreements purchased through SoftwareONE, as well as agreements imported from Entitlement Manager which have missing data and therefore cannot be managed by Renewal Manager. If there are no incomplete agreements existing, this sub-tab won’t be visible.

You can request for the data to be completed by clicking on the “Update” button in the Actions column of a specific agreement. There is also a notes section to add further information before submitting the request.

Once submitted, the agreement for which the update has been requested will be marked as “Updating” and the “Update” button will no longer be available. After the agreements have been updated, it will be listed in the sub-tab ‘Agreements’ or ‘Evergreen Agreements’.

Advanced Search

Advanced search gives you the option to narrow down the list of agreements. The various filter options allow you to display the agreements that are of interest to you.

Save Search

In case you are using the same filter combination on a regular base, you can save them as favorites with ‘Save Search’.

Bulk Actions

Bulk actions allow you to simplify administration tasks by modifying multiple agreements in one action.

Agreement Details Page Header

Independent of what tab you are staying inside on the agreement details page, the upper section of the page remains the same.

  1. With the Navigation Tile you always have the option to switch back to one of the main tabs, like the list of agreements.

  2. The Summary Tile provides you with the total cost of the agreement.

    • Paid Cost: Total Cost of all transactions placed on this agreement from day into the past.

    • Estimated Renewal Cost: automatically calculated renewal cost based on the paid cost and considering the license type and license period.

  3. With the Renewal Progress Tile, you have the latest status. (You can also see the Renewal History Tab for more details about the renewal progress)

  5. Switch between the different Tabs to see all of the data. Depending on your permissions you may not see all tabs available.

Estimated Renewal Cost Calculation

The Estimated Renewal Costs are calculated by considering the following parameters:

The formula of the Renewal Cost Calculation:

‘Current Cost’ x ‘Renewal Factor’ / ‘Current Period’ x ‘Renewal Period’

  • Current Cost: Paid costs of the initial transaction

  • Renewal Factor depending on the License Type

    • License & Maintenance = 20%

    • Maintenance = 100%

    • Subscription = 100%

    • Support = 100%

    • Services = 0%

    • License = 0%

  • Current Period: License Period of the initial transaction

  • Renewal Period: License Period of the Renewal

Calculation Example:

  • License Type: License & Maintenance

  • Renewal Factor: 20%

  • Current Cost: 5.000,00

  • Current Period: 01 Jan 2019 – 31 Dec 2019

  • Renewal Period: 01 Jan 2020 – 31 Dec 2020

  • Calculation: 5.000,00 x 20% / 365 days x 365 days = 1.000.00

The Agreement Details Tab provides you with agreement descriptions, categorizations, and dates. For example, Contract Numbers, Agreement Owner, publisher, End Date, Anniversary Date, and much more.
