NetLicensing Journal

Today we launched a whole new reason for software vendors to love NetLicensing: We are excited to announce the release of NetLicensing 2.3.9. We have added a load of new features and improvements to help ISV to enable enterprise-grade license management.

Licensing is perhaps the biggest issue that many system administrators face and is one which can cause endless issues if it is improperly managed. When it comes to understanding the different pricing models that exist for licensing; a difficult decision becomes almost impossible. In recent years there has been a clear divide between the two main models and we will try to explore those in more detail here. In order to not overcomplicate the discussion; we will refer to them as ‘owned’ (with on-going support) and ‘leased’.

Everybody knows that the hottest online sales are found on the Cyber Monday after Thanksgiving. We even go beyond and present Labs64 Cyber Weeks! Labs64 NetLicensing is now holding a major 2-week promotion that begins on 20th of November and will end on 4th of December 2017.

Just in time for Halloween, we are releasing the new version of NetLicensing 2.3.8 - Halloween Edition and we are bringing a bag full of goodies.

Status update (16:10PM UTC): We are being affected by the intermittent global DNS issues with resolving records on .io domains. All .io domains globally are currently having intermittent issues, causing some issues with our services.

“Licensing” - a word that brings fear to the heart of Software Vendors. Licensing management is complex, time-consuming; and confusing for everyone. The seemingly endless difficulties - operating your own licensing service in 24/7, allocating maintenance resources, a lack of flexibility and the endless hours spent tracking licenses through e-commerce systems not designed for software licensing.
