Waves License Cloud

Please follow these steps: Launch Waves Central Windows: via the desktop shortcut or via Start Menu All Programs Waves. Go to Manage Licenses and log into your account if prompted. In the left panel, click on License Cloud. In the middle panel, checkmark the licenses you wish to activate. A Wave license costs $125 to $250 per user per month, in addition to a $40,000 monthly basic license fee. This puts the Wave Analytics Cloud out of reach of most small businesses.

iLok is well known amongst musicians as a piracy protection system for music software. Traditionally tied to either a USB dongle or a machine, licenses can now be delivered through iLok Cloud.

San Jose, October 17, 2017. PACE Anti-Piracy, Inc. introduces an entirely new approach to software license protection—iLok Cloud. With iLok Cloud, software publishers can offer their users quick and easy access to their licenses from any computer with an Internet connection. iLok Cloud has the same level of robust security as the current iLok USB smart key, which will remain as an option along with machine-based licenses.

Today, PACE Anti-Piracy announces the imminent launch of iLok Cloud. With iLok Cloud, software publishers that use PACE’s licensing system will have a third option to offer their users, in addition to the previously available iLok USB smart key and machine-based licenses.

Using iLok Cloud

Upon launching iLok Cloud protected software, the users will be prompted to provide their username and password. That’s it—the iLok protected software is now ready for use, without any dongles or having to use a specific authorized computer. It’s easy, iLok Cloud protected software can be used anywhere, and iLok Cloud takes the risk of lost or damaged iLok USB smart keys and computers out of the equation.

Availability

iLok Cloud will be available to software publishers as an option when updating their products in early November. Software protected with iLok Cloud should be available to end users in early 2018.

Meet PACE at AES

PACE Anti-Piracy will exhibit in booth 5040 at AES in New York City, October 18-20, 2017. We invite anyone to visit our booth where we’ll be happy to demonstrate iLok Cloud and answer any questions.

Salesforce.com appears to be fighting an uphill battle in getting customers to buy its Wave Analytics Cloud.

However, just 14% of the customers stated that they're planning to implement Salesforce's Analytics Cloud.

Is Wave Held Back by High Pricing?

The reasons behind the apparent reluctance of Salesforce's customers to implement its Analytics Cloud are unclear. It is possible that the Wave Analytics Cloud may be priced prohibitively high. A Wave license costs $125 to $250 per user per month, in addition to a $40,000 monthly basic license fee.

Better Integration at Lower Cost May Be on the Radar

Meanwhile, Salesforce has released an update to the Wave Analytics Cloud in the ongoing Dreamforce 2015 event.

Further, Salesforce seems to have taken note of the prohibitive pricing originally set for Wave. According to unconfirmed reports, Salesforce was considering experimenting with pricing plans for its Analytics Cloud. It may opt for pricing discounts, or may remove the upfront license fees entirely in order to boost adoption rates. The company has not released pricing details for the updated Wave, but it may bring the price down to $85 per user per month according to some reports.

Either way, Salesforce will need to find a balance between increasing adoption rates and protecting its declining gross margin. Doing so is all the more crucial since Salesforce considers the cloud analytics market as its next growth frontier. CEO Marc Benioff has gone as far as to state that Salesforce may be 'crossing over from the CRM industry into the analytics industry with this product'.License

It should be noted that Bluewolf's data in this regard may have been skewed due to the survey demographics. Only 32% of the 1,500 Salesforce customers surveyed had more than 3,000 employees, which could arguably be considered as large customers capable of affording Wave. Comparing the 14% adoption rate mentioned earlier with the 32% large customers implies an adoption rate of over 40%, which is certainly nothing to scoff at. However, 480 customers (32% of 1,500) is too small a sample size to derive meaningful conclusions, so the actual popularity of the Wave Analytics Cloud remains uncertain.

Better Integration at Lower Cost May Be on the Radar

Meanwhile, Salesforce has released an update to the Wave Analytics Cloud in the ongoing Dreamforce 2015 event.The updated release promises better integration with Salesforce’s Sales and Marketing apps. Now, customers will be able to obtain analytics across Salesforce’s entire platform. Users of Salesforce’s Sales Cloud will also get a glimpse of Wave’s capabilities through improved reports and dashboards based on Wave’s visualization, that will be available in-app. This feature is likely to get existing Sales Cloud customers to entertain the possibility of adding the full capabilities of the Wave Analytics Cloud to their arsenal.

Whether Salesforce does achieve a balance or decides to focus on customer adoption alone remains to be seen.
