Application producers are challenged with supporting the old and new software licensing models simultaneously in a way that doesn't make it hard to do business with them. And ensuring compliance with the chosen licensing models is big business as application producers lose billions annually from customers that are intentionally or unintentionally using their software when they are not entitled to.

Addressing these challenges effectively will be essential to successfully guiding the business to enter new markets and drive consistent growth.
