Software Licensing
The importance of legal aspects in software asset management and licensing is growing. Business practices and the license portfolio are often not in accordance with each other. Furthermore, complex clauses in licensing agreements may be misunderstood by the customer and lead to profound controversies with the software company, e.g. in the course of an inhouse software audit. We provide specialized legal advice already during the preparation of a software purchase, during the negotiation of the licensing agreements and with regard to all possible legal implications of an audit process. Our goal is to protect your rights and make sure that your contractual partner is respecting all applicable laws and not abusing its market position. READ MORE
