In this joint interview, SAP and Wibu-Systems explain how entitlement management and licensing protection work hand-in-hand to empower ISVs and device manufacturers.Key takeaways include:Why SAP Entitlement Management (EMS) is central to SAP’s Suite-as-a-Service strategy and the quote-to-cash process.How EMS defines rights and entitlements — from licenses and maintenance to warranties and subscriptions — with unique flexibility.How CodeMeter complements EMS by enforcing entitlements on the end-user side, protecting against piracy, tampering, and reverse engineering.Why the automation industry benefits from EMS + CodeMeter with secure licensing in fully isolated environments.How the combined system supports compliance with the upcoming EU Cyber Resilience Act, addressing integrity, authentication, data protection, and license traceability.Together, SAP and Wibu-Systems deliver a seamless, end-to-end entitlement and licensing solution, bridging sales, provisioning, and fulfillment — while safeguarding digital products for a secure future.

How do we prepare for a world where quantum computing, insider threats, and cyberattacks converge?In this joint discussion, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and Wibu-Systems share unique insights into:Why zero trust architectures are essential to defend against insider threats.How Kerckhoffs’ principle and the award-winning Blurry Box technology provide verifiable, provable protection.The urgency of starting the post-quantum cryptography (PQC) transition now, before attackers decrypt today’s secrets tomorrow.The challenges of implementing PQC in real-world software licensing, including memory demands, multiple key handling, and smooth upgrade paths.Why flexible licensing without strong security is meaningless — and how security, IP protection, and integrity must converge to sustain future business models.Watch the roundtable that we held at our INNO DAYS 2025 event along with KIT, Infineon, and SAP and explore how we all are shaping long-term resilience with crypto agility, hybrid systems, and robust licensing mechanisms https://youtube.com/live/7isVr527YJo.
