Software Licensing Market To 2027 Great Opportunities Available For The Vendors

Global Software Licensing Market – Introduction

Software licensing is an agreement between a user & software vendor to describe the responsibilities of both the parties; it may also levy restrictions related to the usage of the software. Software licenses typically provide end-users with the right to one or more software copies without violating copyrights. Software licensing agreements mainly include warranties & disclaimers, and the limitations of liability of the software if the software/platform or its uses infringe the intellectual property rights.
Enterprises follow software licensing methods including end-user license agreements (EULA) in which vendors can easily license their software. The second method is the white labeling software licensing approach in which a software/product is created by one company and later rebranded by some other companies.

Increasingly stringent rules & regulation regarding software or platform: Prominent driving factor of the software licensing market

Software/ platform is becoming progressively important across various industries including healthcare, automotive, and telecommunication. Software is becoming more and more significant for medical devices under the relevant rules & regulations. According to the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) Australia, definition of a medical device includes software and mobile applications as well. For instance:

Software as a Medical Device (SaMD): The therapeutic goods legislation (Australia) covers manufacturers of SaMD products to obtain “conformity assessment certification” to permit inclusion in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG)

Thus, the increasingly stringent rules & regulations regarding software or a platform is augmenting the growth of the software licensing market worldwide.

Increasing usage of open-source software/platform expected to significantly hamper the software licensing market

Increasing demand for open-source software/platform is negatively impacting the software licensing market. Open source platform is a platform that anybody can review, alter, and enhance with a source code. Open source platforms usually are available free of cost and do not require the user to pay for any further copy. This platform/software is reliable due to two main reasons: open source platforms are mainly developed by talented & skilled professionals who develop high-quality programs. Secondly, the platforms are worked on by many people who monitor the bugs and also fix such defects within a short period of time. Therefore, growing demand for open-source platform/software is expected to significantly hamper the software licensing market globally.
