Everything a team needs to recover Salesforce seats safely.
Built for Sales Ops and Business Ops teams who need to control the harvest strategy without writing Apex. Connects to the ITSM platform you already run.
Plug license harvesting into the workflow your IT team already runs.
Instead of a standalone email approval process, License Reclaim can open a ticket directly in your ITSM platform and listen for the decision via signed webhook. No middleware, no Zapier, no ETL — just native Salesforce Apex talking to your toolchain.
- 01 LR creates an ITSM Request via REST API
- 02 Assignment group routes to IT Ops or HR Ops
- 03 Agent resolves ticket — tags lr_keep or lr_downgrade
- 04 ServiceNow fires outbound REST to LR webhook
- 05 Salesforce applies decision and logs the outcome
- 01 LR opens a JSM request via REST API
- 02 Automation rule fires on issue creation
- 03 Agent resolves — adds lr_keep or lr_downgrade label
- 04 JSM Automation POSTs to LR webhook on close
- 05 Salesforce applies decision and logs the outcome
- 01 LR detects inactive user, opens a Serval ticket via API
- 02 Serval notifies the end-user and routes to manager for approval
- 03 Manager records decision — Keep, Revoke, or Downgrade
- 04 Serval fires HMAC-signed webhook to LR_ServalWebhookResource
- 05 Salesforce applies decision (including license downgrade) and logs the outcome
Serval is the only provider that supports a three-way decision: keep the seat, revoke it entirely, or downgrade to a lighter license type — all from a single ticket.
- 01 LR opens a ticket via POST /api/v2/tickets
- 02 Freshservice Automator fires on ticket creation
- 03 Agent resolves — adds lr_keep or lr_downgrade tag
- 04 Automator sends X-Freshservice-Signature webhook on close
- 05 Salesforce applies decision and logs the outcome

How decisions flow back. When an ITSM
agent resolves the ticket, your platform fires a webhook to a public Apex REST endpoint
inside your Salesforce org. License Reclaim verifies the signature, reads the resolution
tag (lr_keep or lr_downgrade), and
applies the corresponding action — all within the existing approval workflow, with a full
audit event logged automatically.
Sales Ops and Business Ops own the harvest strategy — not IT.
Most license governance tools require a Salesforce admin to run every reclaim cycle. License Reclaim puts the configuration in the hands of the people who understand the business: per-policy controls that let operations teams set the approach, the thresholds, and the approval channel without writing Apex or opening a support ticket.
Execution path
Send manager emails, open an ITSM ticket, or both — configured per policy so high-value teams use ITSM and seasonal workers use email.
Inactivity threshold
Set the number of days without login per policy. Different license types can carry different thresholds — Sales Cloud seats vs. Service Cloud seats, for example.
License type filters
Target specific license types for each policy run. Exclude Chatter, Platform, or Experience Cloud licenses that carry different savings profiles.
Grace period length
Set how long a frozen user has to appeal before permanent deactivation. Some teams want 7 days; compliance-sensitive orgs want 30.
Auto-freeze on timeout
If a manager doesn't respond within your SLA, the policy can auto-freeze the user or hold for manual review — your call.
Dry-run toggle
Activate dry-run mode per policy. Run the full pipeline — scans, cases, simulated emails, ITSM tickets — without touching a single User record.
Typical rollout for a 500-seat org
Week 1 — Dry-run with your largest license bucket. Review the flagged users and tune the threshold. Week 2 — Go live on email approval. Week 3 — Connect Jira or ServiceNow so IT Ops handles the queue in the tool they already use. By month 2, reclamation runs on autopilot with zero admin intervention.
Everything a team needs to run this at scale.
ITSM Connectivity
Native connectors for ServiceNow, Jira Service Management, Serval, and Freshservice. LR raises tickets and listens for signed webhook callbacks — no middleware, no Zapier, no ETL.
Per-policy harvest controls
Sales Ops and Business Ops teams configure each reclaim policy independently — execution path, thresholds, grace period, auto-freeze behavior — without touching Apex.
Dry-Run Mode
Run the entire pipeline against real users without touching a single account. Cases are created, emails are simulated, ITSM tickets are opened in a test mode, no DML on the User object.
HMAC-signed approval links
Each manager-decision URL is signed with a per-org SHA-256 HMAC, single-use, time-bounded. No session required — works from any email client.
CFO savings dashboard
Annualized run-rate, YTD savings, top departments by reclaim volume. Reversed (reactivated) events net out automatically — the number you see is the number you really saved.
Slack & Teams notifications
Configure a webhook URL per policy. Every freeze, deactivation, or reactivation posts to your channel. Optional — off by default.
Append-only audit trail
Every approval click, freeze, deactivation, and PSL-unassign is recorded in the application. Inline justification field for managers. Compliance-friendly.
Global kill switch
One toggle in Setup halts all freezes, deactivations, and emails immediately — mid-cycle, mid-batch, doesn't matter. Reactivate with one click when ready.
Ten checks before any user is flagged.
The integration users, the API users, the queue owners, the sysadmins — none of them get auto-deactivated. License Reclaim runs every candidate through ten orthogonal safety checks, blocks on red flags, warns on amber.
integration@…, api-…, svc-… are blocked. 100% on-platform — with optional ITSM callouts.
The entire pipeline runs in Apex batch + queueable; the UI is Lightning Web Components. When ITSM Connectivity is enabled, outbound callouts create tickets in your provider — all inbound decisions return via signed webhooks to a public Apex REST endpoint inside your org. No middleware sits between Salesforce and your ITSM platform.
Apex batch + queueable inside your Salesforce org. No external compute, no proxy tier.
Standard Salesforce objects + a small set of custom LR objects. No external database.
Only what you enable: ITSM ticket creation, Slack/Teams notifications. Each is opt-in per policy.
