Key Business Challenges
Seequent needed a scalable, non-dongle licensing solution to simplify license management and reduce manual processes. They wanted better license compliance tracking, a complete view of end users, and the ability to offer flexible models like pay-per-use. Improving customer experience was key, including easier evaluation, purchase, and use of their software, plus introducing Single Sign-On (SSO) and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) across products.
Their goal was to streamline processes, enable new licensing models, and deliver unified, secure access across their Leapfrog suite and other applications.
Solution
Seequent adopted 10Duke’s identity-based licensing to expand licensing options, control user access, and offer technical flexibility. The solution allows end users to self-manage licenses and supports a variety of licensing models.
