Why a spreadsheet is not enough

A lapsed license is not a paperwork problem. It can stop you trading, void a bid, fail an inspection, or trigger a fine. Yet most teams track licenses in a spreadsheet that nobody opens until something has already expired.

Licenses are scattered: a contractor license at the state board, a liquor license at the city, vehicle registrations at the DMV, professional licenses with continuing-education requirements. Each has its own number, authority and renewal cycle.

Lapsewise pulls them into a single dashboard that watches every expiry date for you and reminds the right person before the deadline, not after.

Frequently asked questions

What is license management software?

License management software is a tool that records every license your organization holds, tracks each renewal or expiry date, and reminds you before a license lapses. Lapsewise does this for business, professional, operating, trade and vehicle licenses in a single dashboard, with the issuing authority, license number, renewal cost and document attached to each record.

How does Lapsewise remind me before a license expires?

When you add a license with its expiry date, Lapsewise schedules reminders automatically. You receive email, and on paid plans SMS and Slack, reminders ahead of the deadline, sent in your own timezone, so the renewal happens before anything lapses.

Can I track different license types and renewal costs?

Yes. Each license has a type (business, professional, operating, trade, vehicle, liquor, health and safety, or your own category), an issuing authority, a license number and an optional renewal cost. You can filter and report on what is coming due and what it will cost to renew.

Is this software license management for IT assets too?

Lapsewise focuses on date-driven licenses you must renew, such as operating, professional and business licenses. For software subscriptions and SaaS agreements that renew on a contract date, use the Contracts module, which lives in the same dashboard.

How much does it cost?

Lapsewise has a free plan to get started, and paid plans that add CSV import, AI document parsing and SMS or Slack reminders. See the pricing page for current limits.
