Run it in your hotel room tonight¶

Four commands. Your laptop. Your tenant. The report stays on disk.

QR code: the hotel-room quick start

You need Python 3.12+ and pipx. If those are missing, see Getting started.

1. Install¶

pipx install licenselens

2. Offline sample report¶

licenselens demo --open

Demo data. No network. Not your tenant.

3. Scan your own tenant (read-only)¶

licenselens quickstart

Browser device-code sign-in. Read-only. No LicenseLens account.

4. Fix one thing, then diff¶

Write the two scans to different directories. A second scan/demo/quickstart into a directory that already holds report files is diverted to a timestamped subdirectory so the first run is not overwritten — but do not rely on that as the documented path. Name the folders yourself:

licenselens demo -o reports/before
licenselens demo --after -o reports/after
licenselens diff reports/before/security-license-lens-report.json reports/after/security-license-lens-report.json

--after is a simulated remediated tenant (demo data only). For a live tenant, run quickstart twice into two directories after you make a real change.

What you'll see¶

Owned licenses, the controls those licenses unlock, gaps with evidence, and a link to the admin page for each fix. One HTML file on your computer.
