1. High implementation and integration costs: One of the major restraints in the software license management market is the high implementation and integration costs associated with deploying these solutions within an organization. This can act as a barrier for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and limit the adoption of software license management tools.

2. Complexity in managing diverse software environments: The increasing complexity of software environments, including the presence of both on-premises and cloud-based applications, can pose a challenge for effective software license management. Organizations often struggle with managing diverse licensing models, usage rights, and entitlements across their software ecosystem.

3. Resistance to change and lack of awareness: Many organizations may face resistance to change from their employees when implementing new software license management practices. Additionally, a lack of awareness about the potential benefits of software license management can hinder adoption, as decision-makers may not fully understand the value proposition and return on investment of these solutions.
