The primary function of WalkMe Discovery’s License Optimization feature is to provide comprehensive visibility into an organization's software application usage. By tracking user interactions with various applications, it identifies which software licenses are underutilized or completely unused. This data-driven insight enables organizations to pinpoint specific areas of wasted expenditure on software subscriptions. The goal is to facilitate informed decisions about reallocating, consolidating, or canceling licenses to reduce unnecessary costs and optimize the overall software budget.

A. To automatically renew software licenses without user intervention: This describes a license management automation feature, not optimization. Optimizing involves analyzing usage to avoid renewing unnecessary licenses.

C. To disable unused applications permanently: The feature provides data to inform the decision to disable apps; it does not perform the permanent disabling action itself.

D. To increase the number of applications used in an organization: The goal of license optimization is typically to reduce software redundancy and cost, which often leads to a decrease, not an increase, in applications.
