Automatic activation of node-locked licenses over the the Internet, perhaps with the addition of floating licensing for enterprise customers, may work for a majority of your customers, but what about the others: those with no Internet connection from their system, no connectivity at all permitted with external systems, or even no internal network connection? What about the few users without even email access?
Your business strategy may call for perpetual licenses only right now, but what if your market develops and you then need to offer new models to be competitive, such as subscription licensing, feature-based licensing, or usage-based licensing? Can your licensing solution support your business?
Few independent software vendors (ISVs) have the luxury of imposing limited licensing models on all their users. Most have to think about connected and disconnected user systems, Internet-based licensing and licensing managed by a redistributed license server running on the customer's network, different licensing models, and licensing via resellers and OEMs as well as direct sales.
This webinar reviewed the array of licensing models and deployment scenarios faced by ISVs, and described an integrated suite of licensing solutions that supports the requirements of even your corner-case end-users - requirements that challenge less capable systems.
This webinar described solutions that can be hosted in your datacenter as well as hosted solutions that virtually eliminate infrastructure costs.
