Who this guide helps
Teams nearing the end of a license
The short answer
Inventory current rights, stock, assets and reports. Renewal talks do not automatically extend permission.
Practical workflow
Collect the agreement, amendments and end-date wording. List production, channels, unsold stock, campaigns and third-party access. Ask counsel about notice, sell-off and continuing obligations. Record source dates rather than generic periods. Keep proposed renewal terms separate from current authority.
What a useful handoff looks like
Request a reviewed action plan with owners and evidence. Confirm what stops, transfers or continues under actual terms. Preserve completion records and unresolved tasks rather than announcing the relationship ended because a date passed.
Mistakes to avoid
Do not continue asset use because discussions are friendly or assume stock may always sell after expiry. Rights and deadlines need professional interpretation.
Working example: fields to record
| Field | Illustrative entry — replace with your own facts |
|---|---|
| Current term | Agreement and date source |
| Inventory | Stock and active campaigns |
| Exit task | Counsel-confirmed action and owner |
Add your own entries; the example is illustrative. Keep sensitive information private.
Sources & further checks
