Profiting through Software Intelligence:  A Layered Approach to License Compliance

Since the emergence of the commercial software industry, software vendors have struggled to overcome piracy. Software theft has cost developers billions of dollars, sometimes making the difference between sustainable profit and unsustainable loss.To protect their intellectual property, software vendors have evolved four common approaches to piracy: licensing systems, software protection, internal compliance, and legal action. Each approach has strengths and weaknesses, separately and in combination. Even so, for most software vendors, piracy remains a costly and unsolved business problem.

In this white paper, we demonstrate how the use of software intelligence can significantly strengthen your overall license compliance strategy, and improve its effectiveness. You'll learn how layering software intelligence with your current techniques can add value to each of them, helping you transform surprisingly large numbers of pirates into paying customers.
