Hello all,

Can anyone share your suggestions/thoughts on how one can protect the intellectual property rights of customization packages deployed by ISV partners from being copied by other Acumatica partner.

So as for instance, if an ISV partner sells its product to one of the Acumatica VAR to be used by the end user, how can the ISV partner protect or restrict that the VAR shall not copy the functionality from the customization package.

 

Thanks.

@Harry To me it is illegal and you should contact your Account Manager in Acumatica and ask for help. I know many ISVs protect it by License but if the solution does not have that option it should be protected otherwise.

I think licensing is really the only way to know for sure. I wish Acumatica would provide a simple licensing service for customizations. It’s kinda painful to roll your own and debatably effective against developers.
