strategy to accomplish your product licensing objectives. On-site Consultants will guide a discovery process and create
a roadmap for a successful license management strategy that increases revenue and reduces operational cost.
Discovery
SafeNet will work with you to thoroughly assess the scope of your licensing requirements in
order to reduce the risk of unexpected costs and delays during deployment. Working together, we will map the capabilities
of the license management solution to your organizational infrastructure by determining which staff members will interface
with the system and the capabilities they require. Through the discovery process, all organizational needs can be incorporated
into the overall product licensing strategy.
Design
From the results of the discovery process, SafeNet will provide a complete analysis along with
recommendations for improvement. SafeNet licensing expertise will be applied to recommend the strategies that best suit your
environment. We will work towards a plan to bind your license management framework to all other existing processes involved
in creating and delivering software. Design will also incorporate methods for significantly reducing operational costs,
including integration with order entry and customer service databases.

Licensing Compliance
There are a variety of tactics you can employ to ensure compliance with your

chain. If various security levels are required, SafeNet can recommend a strategy that will allow security to be altered at
fulfillment time.
Customer Impact
SafeNet will help you consider the impact on customer satisfaction and implement
licensing that does not prevent legitimate users from accessing their application. Fulfillment should also be easy and
convenient for your customers, offering them numerous options for license activation such as phone, fax, email and Internet.
