Der Weg zur elastischen Lizenzierung

Software licensing is a complex domain covering technical, legal, and economic aspects of the vendor-user relationship. For independent software vendors (ISVs), it is how they monetize their products. For users, it is a large and growing business cost.

Many licensing models already exist, including per user, per system, perpetual, subscription, and per concurrent user. So the key question is: do we really need another one?

This white paper explores how the software market is shifting from traditional licensing toward flexible models, and the factors driving that change. It also introduces Elastic Licensing, an alternative to Pay-Per-Use that benefits both vendors and users while complementing existing systems.
