FLEXnet universal licensing platform.

Macrovision FLEXnet is a universal software licensing platform which works on the majority of commercial operating systems and hardware devices. It enables new software revenues models for software publishers at a time when many are struggling with lower sales, through flexible pricing.

Prior to FLEXnet, software publishers had to hard-code their licensing terms into their products, which meant that terms remained static and unchangeable until the next major release. FLEXnet's universal software licensing approach allows software vendors to more efficiently deploy and manage their software properties at any time.

FLEXnet technology is either embedded into a publisher's source code or wrapped around it, enabling the software publisher to electronically generate, track and enforce its software licenses. The publisher can easily create new products by turning on and off modules and features according to the needs of different industry verticals, for example, all from a single executable file. FLEXnet includes a back office license delivery and fulfilment engine that integrates into the publisher's ERP, CRM and financial systems. It also supports end-user license management, enabling corporate customers to deploy, track and manage the application they purchase.
