  "We are very happy with Orion.  Even though we did not fully leverage Orion's full range of capabilities, it has met all our needs for the past three years and been very easy to integrate and administer. We now intend to go one step further and use Agilis’s hosted Acropolis service and the Acropolis Integration Manager (AIM) license lifecycle management solutions to virtually eliminate all administration and operations overhead, as well as improve our customers’ experience."

  "Our customers find the installation of the Orion License Server to be pretty straight forward. Occasionally we answer a question or two by phone, or log in remotely to complete an installation, but it goes smoothly. The Orion License Server is very reliable and we have very few issues once it is installed."

Director of IT,

  "Synchro provides 4D simulation solutions to the construction industry. We host the Orion Server in our datacenter to offer Internet-based automated activation and node-locking on both connected and disconnected systems (via Orion's 'sneakernet' capability). With Orion's option controls we can issue Synchro Client as either Professional, Express, Workgroup or Project Constructor-level licenses for our application, set the licensed version level, and enforce a time limit for trial installations, all from the one executable we provide to all users. After a re-evaluation of currently available licensing solutions we upgraded to Orion from an older activation system from the then-current market leader in licensing technology, as we needed a more capable solution with the option of offering our larger customers floating licenses managed by a license server with full flexibility of the server deployment on our or their premises. Orion has readily met all our requirements, and even though we are 8 time zones away in the UK we have found Agilis very easy to work with, and their support to be excellent."

"Mercury needed a flexible licensing system with support for bulk licensing on both connected and disconnected systems for our multicore libraries running on IBM-based blade servers. We selected Agilis's versatile, robust Orion Network Licensing Platform, to provide activation with automatic node locking of trial and production licenses on individual boards running embedded Linux on a PowerPC machine architecture."

Vice President of Services and System Integration,
Mercury Computer Systems

 
     
  "For MAXaccess and Nexus Suite we offer site-based licenses, using EasyLicenser to configure the number of active channels and users enabled per site, and to lock each installation using Agilis's Fuzzy Fingerprinting technology. We also take advantage of EasyLicenser's nested-licensing capability to provide 'emergency keys' to our installation and support personnel. Our technicians are able to use assigned  emergency keys at any time, up to five times on any one system, to turn on a 3-day license with all capabilities enabled.  By doing this, they have the capability to immediately enable a temporary backup system while they resolve a primary system problem, or turn on a system for a new customer even before the production license key arrives. Our customers rely on IPC's communication systems for their financial trading businesses, so we have to deliver very high availability. EasyLicenser's deferred node locking, deferred time-limited licensing and extensible, nested complex-licensing functionality enable us to meet all our licensing requirements".

  "We have a great working relationship with Agilis. We go to Agilis with a problem and issues, and Agilis comes back almost instantly with answers and a solution."

  "Since Orion supports Internet-based product activation and floating licensing with the same client library and a single application integration, we didn't have to ask Engineering to make changes to our application when we added floating licensing from a redistributed license server to our hosted product-activation licensing deployment."

  "FirstHand Technologies develops and distributes software for mobile cellular devices and servers. Orion has provided us a flexible and scalable solution that was easily adapted to our tiered software distribution model. We have also been able to effectively manage our trial and evaluation process. We had the system operational within a couple of weeks with excellent documentation and support."

  "Our customers require a variety of license management models in order to meet their compliance obligations and sourcing goals. After a review of available products, we selected Agilis Software as a strategic partner and EasyLicenser as the basis of our license enforcement strategy. We have found Agilis easy to work with and EasyLicenser has met every expectation."

  "Wave7 Optics, Inc. is a market leader in the fiber-to-the-home and business (FTTX) optical access market. The Last Mile Link(tm) (LML) optical access system effectively overcomes traditional cost and implementation barriers to the bandwidth capacity bottleneck in the last mile of communications networks. The commercially available LML product suite provides solutions that specifically address residential, business, and multi-tenant customers with a unifying architecture providing a complete triple play of voice, video, and data services.

We chose to use Orion in some of our more strategic realtime embedded VxWorks-based LML hardware, to license advanced software and hardware features. This allows us to manufacture fewer, more functional models, which have a base configuration with additional revenue producing features that may be software enabled.

As well as offering a flexible, robust licensing solution, Agilis is a great company to work with - they quickly understood what we needed, and responded with a complete solution much faster than expected. Support also sets Agilis apart; they consistently respond to all of our inquiries in a timely manner and incorporate our input as features in future Orion releases."

  "We needed a secure licensing solution for our high-value Enterprise Developer Testing solutions that would support our needs and be easy to deploy in our customer base. After extensive research, we concluded Orion internet-based technology was the sole solution that met our needs for flexibility, security, scalability and ease of deployment. Agilis is the only company to offer a modern internet-based licensing system that fits smoothly into our customers' varied network environments."
