Automated Udemy Business Seat Audits

Every Monday, WebRun opens Udemy Business, checks which assigned seats have no activity, groups the unused and dormant licenses by team, writes the seat count and the trend into Google Sheets, and puts a renewal review on your Google Calendar before the term ends.

In short

How do I find unused Udemy Business licenses before renewal?

WebRun audits your Udemy Business seats every Monday. It reads each assigned license for course activity, minutes watched, and last login, then separates active, dormant, and never-used seats by team. The counts and the trend go into Google Sheets and a renewal review lands on your calendar, so the seat count gets right-sized before it rolls over.

  • Unused seats are named weeks before the renewal date
  • Dormant and never-used seats are counted separately
  • The reclaimable seat count is priced at your per-seat rate

Questions, answered

Will it remove anyone's license?

No. WebRun never unassigns a seat, removes a learner, or changes your plan. It writes the audit to Google Sheets and books a review so a person makes the call.

How long before renewal does it warn me?

As long as you want. Record your term end date and WebRun books the renewal review that far ahead, with the seat trend already in the sheet.

Does dormant mean the same as never used?

No, and they are counted separately. Never used means no activity since assignment. Dormant means the learner was active once but has done nothing inside your chosen window.
