Costs for the Licensing System

This category of costs covers the expenses incurred for licensing sold software. Every licensed product needs a license container, which can cost different amounts of money depending on the chosen pricing system. The licensing costs can, for instance, be covered by a blanket payment based on total turnover with the protected software, or they can be calculated by the actual number of license containers. Clients have the opportunity to buy additional license admin and support services for more comprehensive support.

Revenue Growth

Introducing licensing technology gives companies a valuable opportunity to substantially increase their revenue. This is primarily due to the significant reduction in pirated copies of their product. Effective protection of their IP also makes it harder for competitors to emulate key functions of their software, which keeps their wares unique and more valuable for the end user. Additional revenue can be expected from the new flexibility afforded by the licensing system, which allows the companies to introduce new, bespoke pricing models that are far more responsive when it comes to matching the individual needs of end users. This agile pricing policy enables companies to strengthen their relationships with their users and seize new upselling and cross-selling opportunities.
