Agilis Software and Wibu-Systems® USA: Partnering for Highly-Secure Software Licensing
San Francisco, California, May 8th, 2007. Agilis Software and Wibu-Systems today announced a partnership under which Agilis’s Orion Network Licensing Platform and Wibu’s CodeMeter® software-locking hardware device combine to offer ISVs a single solution that includes Internet-based product activation, Internet or intranet-based floating licensing and highly secure time-limited and/or node-locked licensing for systems with limited or no network access, all with one API to integrate into the protected Java or C++ application. Agilis and Wibu will be demonstrating their solutions at booth #1505 at the JavaOne Conference this week in San Francisco.
Dominic Haigh, VP of Agilis, noted:“While the majority of our ISV customers’ end-users have network access for product activation, either directly from the target machine or from an Internet terminal, ISVs do have some customers with no network access at all. These end-users are typically in closed network environments, such as defense or financial institutions, or in overseas markets where ISVs also have acute piracy concerns. By protecting these installations with the highly-secure Wibu hardware device, and using automated activation for their other users, ISVs can meet all their customers’ needs with one solution.”
“Software developers will have an immediate benefit from our partnership with Agilis,” said Marcellus Buchheit, President and CEO of WIBU-USA. He went on to say, “The overall security will increase, not just because of AES encryption, but because key management and encryption can take place through our new CodeMeter hardware device.”
