Case Study: Hexagon Aicon Etalon streamlines software licensing with Thales Sentinel

Aicon Etalon cuts license updates from weeks to seconds with Thales e-Security

Hexagon's precision measurement business line, Aicon Etalon, faced challenges managing complex software licenses and updates across its global customer base while maintaining security and streamlining operations. To address this, the company partnered with its long-time vendor, Thales e-Security, to modernize its approach using the Thales Sentinel cloud-based entitlement management system.

The solution involved migrating to Thales Sentinel's automated platform, which integrated legacy hardware keys with new software-based licensing. This implementation by Thales enabled instant license provisioning, automated renewals, and reduced manual work, cutting update processes from weeks to seconds. The results included a lower support load, stronger software protection, and a flexible foundation for recurring revenue models, positioning Aicon Etalon for scalable growth.
