CASE STUDY

Success Story | Leader Electronics Corp .

The Challenge Resolution measurement is a crucial step for precise , high-definition imaging and video equipment . But it requires careful selection of fitting test charts for each camera type , and for certain camera types , like fisheye lenses or ultra wide angle cameras , it was a labor-intensive process . The SFR-Fit software made by Leader Electronics Corp . eliminates the need for this complex process by generating and displaying the exact test chart for any given camera for easier and more precise resolution measurement . However , the choice to distribute the MATLAB-built software in the worldwide market required Leader Electronics Corp . to rethink its approach to protecting and licensing its valuable IP .
The Solution Leader Electronics Corp . needed a technology that could protect and license applications developed with MATLAB Compiler with the most streamlined distribution and license management infrastructure , and they found the right candidate in Wibu-Systems ’ CodeMeter . The convenience of CmActLicense software license containers managed through CodeMeter License Central and License Portal give Leader Electronics Corp . and its users peace of mind and great flexibility in testing , buying , and using the software , be they in the company ’ s native Japan or in its new markets overseas .
The Success CodeMeter is not just the only licensing and protection solution that works perfectly with MATLAB applications . It also proved its capabilities as a real business enabler : The flexibility of the licensing models and the
Koichi Toda – Leader Electronics Corporation “ The SFR-Fit is a revolutionary product that uses a display to eliminate the need to select a test chart , which is the standard for conventional measurement methods . Wibu-Systems ’ CodeMeter met all of our requirements , especially as it is compatible with software developed in MATLAB . Therefore , the decision was made to implement the solution . We are very grateful to Wibu- Systems for their technical support during the evaluation and for sharing their knowledge for software business monetization .” comfort of license distribution and activation over the Internet mean that Leader Electronics Corp . can offer its clients trial licenses to test the product , with the option to later buy full licenses without having to change anything in the installed software . By simply activating the new license through License Portal , users can continue to enjoy their products after the trial period without interruption or hassle , and Leader Electronics Corp . can spread the word about its revolutionary SFR-Fit through trial versions without compromising on the security of their IP .
