Geographic Information Software Licensing

Licensing for modern GIS platforms

Geographic Information Software (GIS) powers how organizations capture, analyze, and visualize geospatial data. From desktop mapping tools to cloud-based geospatial platforms, GIS software must support complex workflows, distributed teams, and high-value datasets.

10Duke provides a modern licensing solution for GIS vendors who need full visibility, flexible licensing methods, and the ability to scale across global user bases without operational overhead.

The challenge of licensing GIS software

GIS applications are used across diverse environments, from office-based analysts to field teams collecting and updating spatial data. This creates unique challenges for software licensing:

Supporting both desktop and cloud-based GIS applications

Managing access to large geospatial datasets and layered data environments

Enabling flexible usage across projects, teams, and regions

Providing visibility into who is using what, where, and how

Reducing friction for users working across online and offline workflows

Traditional licensing approaches often struggle to keep up with these demands, limiting both user experience and revenue potential.

Why 10Duke for GIS software vendors

10Duke is built to support the way modern GIS software is developed, deployed, and used.

Flexible licensing for complex geospatial workflows

Support a range of licensing methods that align with how GIS software is used, including user-based, subscription, and usage-based licensing. Adapt to different customer needs, from enterprise deployments to project-based access.

Full visibility into software usage

Understand how your GIS applications are being used across datasets, teams, and regions. Gain insights into user activity to inform product, pricing, and growth decisions.

Seamless access across environments

Enable consistent licensing across desktop tools, web platforms, and APIs. Support users working across office and field environments without disruption.

Scalable for global deployments

Manage licensing across distributed teams and organizations, ensuring secure and reliable access wherever your customers operate.

Unlike legacy solutions that require you to run and maintain license servers, 10Duke provides a fully managed, cloud-based licensing service. Infrastructure, updates, and reliability are handled for you, so your team can focus on your software, not operating licensing systems.

Customer Success: acQuire

acQuire needed a more effective way to manage licensing across a global customer base using complex software solutions. Their previous approach limited visibility and control, making it difficult to understand how licenses were being used.

By moving to 10Duke, acQuire gained a centralized licensing system that improved transparency for both their team and their customers. This enabled better control over license allocation, reduced support overhead, and unlocked new revenue opportunities within their existing customer base.

10x Licensing ROI

"Moving to 10Duke for licensing enabled us to grow our licensing revenue by 15% in the first 24 months".

"Beforehand, we didn't have a single point of control on the licenses we had issued, nor did we have visibility on who was using those licenses. Our customers also have more transparency and control with how they manage and allocate their licences in our software.

10Duke has enabled us to connect the dots, reduce our support overheads and find additional revenue from our existing customer base. By using 10Duke we got a 10X ROI within 24 months".
