Software has become the grease within the engine called your business.  Without it, you are not going anywhere fast!  Whether your company develops software for internal or commercial purposes, you can't ignore the problems directly associated with trying to market, or limit the use/distribution of, your intellectual property.

No matter how savvy your legal agreements are with your customers, or how well your software appears to be selling, there are a few basic facts of life that you have to consider:

1) NO licensing solution is 'perfect,' you can only make it difficult to break or copy.

2) The 'cooler' your software is, the more likely it is to be stolen. (CAD, Multimedia)

3) When you give customers control - they steal!

4) The greatest market opportunities come with the greatest risks to revenue stream.

5) Your licensing is the first impression with your customers - make it a good one!

6) Your business model may need to change! (e.g. move towards SaaS!)

Nitro-LM was specially designed from the ground-up to address these issues. It does this enabling a convenient on-line licensing service for your developers and customers to apply and use.  Because Nitro-LM is 'hosted' in the 'cloud' it is inherently more secure than sending customers licensing strings/codes.  Nitro-LM keeps a physical separation between your customers and your licenses until they can be authenticated; then, and only then, are licenses delivered to your customers/end-users.  This fundamental difference in approach is more secure than other systems.  You can manage the entire process using Nitro-LM's Administration Interface, in real-time, from anywhere in the world!

Whether you are looking to implement licensing that is as simple as on-off (a.k.a. light-switch) functionality, or want to gather extensive usage data on your customers, Nitro-LM provides you with the tools to accomplish your business goals while improving your customers' overall impressions and experiences of your products and company.
