Overview The attendee of this webcast will learn why best-in-class software companies are relying on third party protection and licensing solutions rather than tackling the challenges (and expense) of building their own. The presenters will discuss piracy and use real life examples and TCO analysis to discuss the challenges of building own software security and licensing infrastructure versus purchasing a comprehensive software rights management solution that fully aligns with the software product lifecycle.
