Webinar for Software Developers on Software Licensing Challenges, from Agilis Software

Online, December 10, 2009 (Newswire.com) - This webinar describes challenges to software licensing that arise from new technologies and customer requirements, and describes ways to meet them, illustrated with case-studies.

Independent software vendors (ISVs) face new challenges to securely protecting their revenues while meeting customer needs for convenience and flexibility. For example, Internet-based activation works well for both vendors and users, but what about users whose systems don't have an Internet connection, or whose system crashes, or who need to relocate their license, or who want to regularly renew a subscription license? Perhaps product activation will work for the majority of users, but how do ISVs support enterprise customers who request floating licensing or activation of licenses from a pool? Securing a license by locking it to hardware parameters of the user's system is a proven approach for copy protection, but what about virtual systems, where hardware parameters can change for legitimate users? How about ISVs who need to upgrade from an insecure and cumbersome in-house or obsolete commercial licensing tool - how can they smoothly migrate their products and customers to a modern licensing solution, and how can they minimize the development effort required?

This webinar covers these topics and more, and describes practical solutions with case studies of how ISVs are using them today to securely protect their revenues.
