April 14, 2005 -- Dan Stupka, Senior Software Engineer for Wave7, commented: "We chose to use Orion in our more strategic real-time embedded VxWorks-based LML hardware, to license advanced software and hardware features. This allows us to manufacture fewer, highly functional models, which have a base configuration with additional revenue-producing features that may be software-enabled". Stupka continued: "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."

"Wave7 Optics needed a specific network licensing solution for their VxWorks-based systems" added Dominic Haigh, Vice President of Agilis. "We worked closely with their engineering team to deliver the flexible licensing capability they needed to simplify their logistics and maximize potential upgrade revenues. We appreciate their input and help advancing our solutions to support real-time embedded system platforms operating in secure network environments".

Software and systems vendors worldwide are using the Orion Network Licensing Platform to offer internet-basd product activation, floating or concurrent licensing, subscription or usage-based licensing to realize software-as-a-service business models and more on a wide range of platforms.
