Licensing Solutions: The Core Key to Solving Enterprises’ Digital Asset Dilemmas
When an enterprise’s design team is forced to suspend projects due to insufficient Catia licenses, when the finance department struggles with software procurement costs of millions of yuan, or when unauthorized software use risks are suddenly discovered during compliance audits—all these scenarios point to the same core proposition: how to maximize the value of software, a core digital asset? The answer lies in professional Licensing Solutions.
In today’s era of accelerated digital transformation, software has penetrated every link of enterprise operations. From industrial design software such as Ansys and SolidWorks, to enterprise management systems like SAP and ERP, and even to artificial intelligence algorithm models, the legal use and efficient management of each software directly affect an enterprise’s production efficiency, cost control, and compliance security. According to statistics, the global software license management market size exceeded 28 billion US dollars in 2025, and more than 65% of large enterprises are re-evaluating their own license management strategies. This fully indicates that the importance of Licensing Solutions has been widely recognized.
First, Understand: What Problems Do Licensing Solutions Actually Solve?
Many enterprises’ understanding of software licensing is still at the level of “buying an activation code”. They only realize the necessity of professional management when encountering dilemmas such as cost overruns, compliance risks, or inefficiency. In fact, Licensing Solutions is a systematic solution covering the entire software lifecycle, focusing on solving three core problems:
First is compliance risk control. With the strengthening of global intellectual property protection, compliance audits by institutions such as BSA have become increasingly stringent. Even unintentional software authorization loopholes may lead to fines of tens of millions of yuan. A multinational enterprise once paid three times the initial investment in loophole remediation costs due to chaotic authorization management. Professional Licensing Solutions, however, can real-time monitor software usage status, simulate audit processes, identify potential compliance risks in advance, and keep enterprises away from legal risks.
Second is cost optimization. The annual fee for a single industrial software license often reaches tens of thousands of yuan, but the industry average idle rate is as high as 37%, with a large number of software assets wasted in “sleep”. Through the intelligent scheduling function of Licensing Solutions, idle licenses can be quickly recovered and reallocated. A chip design company saved more than 20 million yuan in software expenses over three years by optimizing procurement strategies with such solutions. At the same time, the solutions can accurately predict demand through usage analysis, avoiding over-purchasing.
Third is efficiency improvement. Traditional manual ledgers simply cannot keep up with the real-time changes of floating licenses. When the design team is stuck due to license competition, project progress will inevitably be affected. The 3D visual monitoring and intelligent deployment functions of Licensing Solutions can increase the license turnover efficiency to more than 92%, significantly reducing work delays caused by insufficient resources.
