FlexNet

Flexera Software's FlexNet Licensing (composed of FlexNet Publisher and FlexNet Embedded) makes it easy for application producers to monetize, secure, enhance and grow market share through the flexible pricing, packaging, and licensing of applications, intelligent devices or equipment using embedded software. FlexNet Licensing also gives organizations the power to protect IP and rein in unauthorized software use to prevent revenue loss.

Maximize revenue with flexible software licensing models

FlexNet Licensing gives you the flexibility to creatively price, package, and bundle products for broader and deeper market penetration. Quickly create lite, standard, and premium product versions to better target customers and markets; create multiple software products—on-premises, SaaS, Cloud, virtualized and embedded—to address different markets and geographies; and enable cross-sell and up-sell for products licensed together as packages and suites.

Prevent revenue loss with software piracy protection

FlexNet Licensing protects your products against revenue loss by ensuring only licensed and credentialed users can access your products according to your software licensing terms, without impacting usability and customer satisfaction.

Expand software revenue protection into virtualized environments

Flexera Software has collaborated with virtualization platform manufacturers to provide a rich set of capabilities that allow you to address revenue protection in a virtualized environment. With FlexNet Licensing's virtualization capabilities, you can apply the appropriate enforcement strategy for a given customer based upon the level of trust you have with that customer.

Easy license activation and management

With FlexNet Licensing's activation capabilities, your customers can activate and change licenses with a single click of the mouse. Every change is automatically captured and optionally communicated to your back-office. It helps your customers begin using your products rapidly without involving your support staff or violating your contracts.
