10Duke Enterprise offers a cutting-edge software licensing platform that focuses on user identity rather than relying on hardware identifiers or traditional file-based keys. Each license is linked to an authenticated user, enabling independent software vendors (ISVs) with desktop applications to transition from fragile proprietary licensing scripts and node-locking methods. The platform comes equipped with integrated Customer Identity Management (CIAM) features, supporting OpenID Connect and SAML, along with single sign-on capabilities and user-friendly self-service account portals. This eliminates the necessity for vendors to integrate an external identity provider. For ISVs generating revenue between $5M and $50M and looking to replace outdated systems, this solution consolidates license validation, user authentication, and access management into a unified identity framework rather than relying on disparate tools. With real-time entitlement verification available across desktop, web, and mobile platforms, software vendors gain a reliable single source of truth regarding user identities and their corresponding licenses, facilitating a smooth transition from legacy or custom licensing solutions.
