HighQSoft Moves to RLM and Introduces Licensing.
Previously, at HighQSoft, (server-side) software solutions were either distributed without licensing for trusted customers or with hard-coded user limits. Although this resulted in wide utilization of the software, it also risked a potential loss of revenue. While upgrading the products to include new and market relevant features, the decision was also made to introduce licensing.
Protecting the products and thereby increasing sales were only part of the idea. HighQSoft’s OEM customers demanded a transparent licensing process for them to adhere to internal purchase and compliance requirements. “Introducing a transparent license management solution was not only a benefit to us as a company but was also welcomed by our clients,” according to Dr. Ralf Nörenberg, HighQSoft’s Assistant Director. As another benefit, the confidence to introduce the products to emerging markets , e.g. Asia was strengthened.
Introducing RLM licensing into HighQSoft’s products was quite seamless but also had its challenges due to server-side aspects and target environments of customers usually being cut off from their intranet. Licensing has improved the relationship with customers as well as increased their general satisfaction. The utilization of RLM through Activation Pro works well and is frequently updated by Reprise.
