New FlexNet Producer Suite release simplifies subscription, cloud- and usage-based licensing.
Flexera Software has announced an enhancement to FlexNet Producer Suite, its licensing, entitlement management, and delivery software solution. FlexNet Producer suite now empowers application producers to explore new licensing models that simplify their customers' experience by reducing or even eliminating the complexity of managing a local license server. It also provides a secure and "single source of truth" environment to address virtualization cloning in an enterprise environment, helping minimize software piracy.
"We know that enterprises are demanding that their producers simplify licensing while also supporting new licensing models that align with their business needs. Cloud licensing services can help achieve that goal by removing the need to set up local license servers, delivering true ‘licensing-as-a-service,'" said Amy Konary, research vice president — software licensing & provisioning, IDC. "This can accommodate producers' needs to monetize and protect their applications while satisfying enterprise needs for simplified licensing."
