Case Study: Basis International Ltd. automates complex software licensing and reduces piracy with Flexera

Automates Its Highly Complex Software Licensing Environment with FlexNet Licensing

BASIS International Ltd., a long-standing developer of Business BASIC tools used by over 7,000 developers across more than 100 platform ports, faced a complex licensing challenge as its market expanded internationally. With products on Windows, Linux, multiple UNIX variants and any JVM platform, BASIS needed a more secure, manageable way to prevent purposeful and inadvertent piracy, simplify internal license tracking, and let its team focus on product development.

Since 1999 BASIS has used FlexNet Licensing to automate and secure its licensing lifecycle—implementing node-locking, required registration, and self-service activation—while enabling the same binary to be offered as demo, limited or premium editions. The result: reduced unauthorized use, streamlined internal processes and support, new rental- and usage-based licensing options that broaden customer appeal, and improved revenue capture through higher compliance.
