As an independent software vendor (ISV), license infringements clearly and significantly impact your business. Estimates indicate that 37% of worldwide software usage breaches the license agreement. You need to take action. Not only to recover your lost revenue, but also to create a level playing field for licensed customers of your software.
You’ve created multiple licensing options for on-premise and SaaS use to align with your customers’ business case, but this diversification makes it harder for your license compliance team to determine if a customer is compliant. Combine that with hard-to-find, often offline software infringements, and your compliance team is up for a challenge.
This shouldn’t stop you from taking action. Empower your team with a tool that takes the hassle out of license compliance work.
At Cylynt we do two things better than anybody: identification of infringements and provision of high-quality, actionable data. This enables you to widen the net and build solid legal cases.
Cylynt has devoted over 10 years to developing SmartFlow so that the technology can identify the widest range of infringements and the most difficult-to-find actors. Today SmartFlow delivers new business insights to the organization and reveals more infringing usage events, maximizing license revenue.
Infringement detection is just the beginning. SmartFlow is a complete software compliance and monetization solution. It provides your compliance teams with the tools and data they need to build a solid legal case. Data that is designed to comply with the GDPR and CCPA.
SmartFlow provides a complete solution to find, identify and convert license infringements, whether your software is deployed locally or hosted. Discover our next-level solutions for credential sharing detection and multi-deployment tracking.
An estimated 37% of worldwide software is used outside of the license agreement. ISVs implementing Cylynt technology are, therefore, pleasantly surprised by the return on investment we provide.
Many initial interactions with ISVs focus on software piracy. However, using SmartFlow we often find that misuse of legitimate licenses is a much larger revenue loss.
That is why our next-level custom license parameter tracking is a crucial feature enabling our customers to build a solid case against misuse – whether on-premise or in the cloud.

Cylynt’s SmartFlow technology offers ISVs an end-to-end solution to detect and build infringement cases while connecting with your internal tooling to streamline processes.
Smartflow On-Prem provides easy integration with your software and collects the various data points required to create solid license infringement cases, including usage, location, devices, and network details. Our advanced phone home methods make detecting hard-to-find offline infringements possible.
Software license infringement also applies to software deployed in a SaaS model. SaaS enables easy limitation of available functionality, but it is not without its compliance problems, for instance credential sharing among others. SmartFlow solutions for SaaS accurately determine whether users share their credentials using various data points.
SmartFlow CMS connects the dots to discover license infringement cases and provides a cohesive workflow to support case management. It uses data from SmartFlow, additional sources, and advanced business logic to reveal unlicensed usage. This makes finding license infringements easy and provides data to build solid cases and rule out false positives.
