Software Licensing and monetization

The importance of licensing

• Piracy, theft and protection of revenue streams
  You don't want someone to reverse engineer the solutions you have invested years of R&D in to develop.
• Enable New business models
  When encrypting individual parts of your software, you can sell different versions of your software but still ship the exact same built to anyone. You can also offer your software as a service. Or restricts the amount of users per license. The posibilities are endless.
• Usage insight
  Keep track how your customers use your software and different features. Use this valuable data to implement crucial optimizations and to bind customers even better.

Many types of license models available!

We don’t restrict the way you want to make money. In fact we support all types of licensing models —from standalone to network and more advanced ones like pay-per-use or feature-locked are readily available.

• Time based licenses
  Issue a license which is valid for a certain period. License expired? Application stops working.
• Feature on demand
  That one exciting and advanced feature in your software which makes the difference between you and your competitors. Put a seperate license on that, and sell it as a premium version.
• Pay-per-use
  Bill you customers based on the number of units used. For example: with licence 'basic' your customer can export up to 10 videos per month.

Cloud, dongle or bound to a system

To run applications protected with our solutions, you'll first need a valid license, which is stored inside a carrier. A carrier can be a hardware secure element, like a dongle. You can also make a system or machine a carrier by fingerprinting unique hardware-ID's and other elements, and binding the license to that unique fingerprint (software license). Licenses can also be stored in the cloud. A combination of all three is also possible without the need of changing your code.
