Summary

Is there an option for a non-Java Local License Server?

Question

When will a non-Java-based local license server option (C++ or .NET) be available for use?

Answer

Firstly, we are certainly aware that a small subset of markets and companies would prefer non-Java solutions.

We constantly monitor market trends, listen to our customers and evaluate the effects on our business. From this we can derive requirements going forward. To date, there is insufficient evidence in support of a move to a different language which would certainly be a large and potentially disruptive project. So in short, we do not currently have plans for a non-Java server.

Continuing to develop the Java Server gives us speed and agility to develop the functionality that the market also expects. Finally, from a security standpoint, our experts believe Java to still be a reasonable choice for our FNE license server.

Going forward, we continue to monitor the situation and would appreciate any feedback from our customers.
