A software licence is an agreement that gives the end user the right to use a specific software product. The purpose of the licence is to make clear the rights and obligations of both the customer and supplier.
Software licences are normally valid only for a limited duration, typically a year. After this time, they must be renewed. If you do not keep your licence current it is likely that you will not receive maintenance releases of software and security upgrades. Your systems may suddenly stop working when operating system changes are made or new security threats emerge. Additionally, if you do not pay your annual licence support fees, you may have to repurchase the licences, which is very much more expensive.
Even for a home user, keeping your licences up to date can be a challenge. However, for a business, with multiple licences, multiple software packages and multiple users, licence management can soon become a real headache.
Entegraty’s Licence Management service ensure that you are always up-to-date with your licences and that your business will not be exposed to any resulting vulnerabilities.
