FlexNet Manager vs. SoftwareKey System

Software is one of the major items on any IT expense budget. Industry analysts estimate software license and maintenance fees represent 20 to 35% of total enterprise IT spend. The approach for managing a software asset portfolio is typically inefficient, relying on a local approach instead of a global one, and frequently involves spreadsheets or other ad hoc methods. The lack of efficient software asset management processes exposes enterprises to software audit liabilities and overspending on licenses and maintenance.

The SoftwareKey System is a complete, turnkey solution for software licensing, online license management, automated online software activation and optionally selling software online. This system is comprised of two parts, a licensing client and a licensing server, which work together to maximize your software licensing revenue but automating the entire license management lifecycle. This seamless and powerful client-server combination is suitable for a one-person operation or a sophisticated team of developers.
