Software License and Entitlement Management Trends"We are serving our customers better with faster velocity and greater agility. Flexera Software has helped Siemens Building Technologies to reduce the manufacturing complexity of a very sophisticated product line down to just a few models." Duane Keenan "By using Flexera Software’s software entitlement and compliance management products, however, manufacturers can reduce SKUs through flexible software configuration and provide self-service capabilities for managing software features, maintenance, and upgrades."

FlexNet® Embedded empowers high-tech manufacturers to unlock new revenue streams by utilizing software licensing, pricing, and packaging to monetize intelligent devices and equipment using embedded software. Embedded software licensing also helps manufacturers streamline supply chains and reduce manufacturing costs by reducing the number of unique physical devices while increasing the usable life. As high-tech devices become commoditized, manufacturers have to cope with increased competition and shrinking margins. With the rise of intelligent devices and operating systems to support these devices—i.e. Windows CE and Embedded Linux— embedded software has the potential to be tremendously profitable for high-tech manufacturers. The challenge for high-tech manufacturers becomes finding ways to monetize devices by using the embedded software, as well as have the ability to easily configure capability and/or capacity on a device so that it appeals to new markets – and to do it without increasing manufacturing costs. FlexNet Embedded lets you quickly and easily create product configurations to target new markets and geographies by using embedded software licensing to turn device capabilities and capacity on and off. Now, instead of producing hundreds of product variations, you can manufacture a small number of device types to handle all your customer and channel needs. FlexNet Embedded has a very small footprint (as low as 50K) and highly modular design. The FlexNet Embedded software licensing solution can be easily configured to match exact specifications for any device, including those that run Windows CE, MontaVista Linux, Wind River Linux, VxWorks, and other embedded/real-time operating systems.
