At Em Software, we've been successfully licensing our products on a source and redistribution basis for many years, and we thought you might like to know about this program. Xtags has a couple of dozen licensees, ranging from very small one-man shops to large publishing Fortune 500 companies. Xcatalog has several licensees from a range of large and small catalog integrators and publishing automation developers. Xdata has been licensed for foreign redistribution. We also have a discontinued product, Xarchive, available for source licensing on a fire-sale basis.
Details are below .
We presume below that you're familiar with our products, but, if not, you can find an overview elsewhere on this site . You can also download full documentation and demo versions of our products, and we recommend that for any serious investigation. We'll briefly list some benefits of licensing for different situations, though there's clearly some overlap among all of these situations. As a final example, these products are designed to be easily extensible for new cases and applications without massive rewrites. VARs Em's products are designed to be functionally modular, are scriptable in many cases, and are also cross-XTension callable in some cases, with fairly minimal user interfaces, so you can easily integrate them with or embed them into your larger products and workflow processes , often without needing source changes.
