Software licensing & M&A advisor. Twenty years in software asset management, focused on quantifying exposure and separating shared software estates cleanly.
LinkedIn profileMorten Andersen is co-founder of M&A Software Advisory. He brings twenty years in software asset management and licensing advisory, focused on quantifying deployed-versus-entitled exposure for deal teams and on separating shared software estates cleanly through carve-outs and transition service agreement (TSA) exits.
Where a deal involves splitting or recombining software estates, the licensing detail decides whether the new entity inherits a clean position or a stranded, double-licensed, or audit-exposed one. That is the work Morten owns: measuring what is actually deployed against what is entitled, then engineering the separation or reconciliation so the exposure is contained before it becomes a vendor claim. He is one of the two named authors behind the guidance on this site.
Morten works buyer-side only, with no affiliation to any software publisher or reseller, paid only by the acquirer. That independence is what keeps the analysis aimed at defending your position rather than steering a vendor sale. How it shapes our content is described in our editorial standards.
Morten authors guidance across the site's core topics, including:
