Software Licensing and Protection for Producers of Smart Machinery and Control Systems

At the heart of modern plants and manufacturing equipment we find the integrated control systems that operate and monitor the industrial processes. For the manufacturers of control systems and machinery, software enables the required functions and applications and can be a key differentiator in the effort to stand apart from the competition.

As such, not only should proprietary software be protected against theft (illicit copying), reverse engineering, and counterfeiting, but also against malicious tampering, manipulation, and even sabotage that might not just damage equipment, but also put human lives at risk.
