You talked about non-commercial

So you're just watching trends?

Yes, we are just observing. Because you can invest a lot of effort and money into a trendy technology, but it will not take off.

users: tell us where they come from.

We distribute free licenses in Russia to several categories. First of all, of course, to phone number in vietnamese students and educational institutions. That is, a university receives a request, it registers, and receives a license for a certain number of classes at once. There are tens of thousands of such licenses. Students themselves also request a license for personal use.

The second category is licenses for home use by any private individuals. The only restriction that was in effect for this category until the summer of 2023 was the ban on commercial use of the product. Currently, home users can only use Renga Standard .

Now you provide users with temporary and permanent licenses. Do you have any tools to track the use of the product? After all, when a developer starts providing temporary licenses, he needs to somehow understand whether the customer will renew them next year. You shift this onto the shoulders of integrator partners, right?

Frankly, I don’t see what kind of tracking mechanism we can make. Even if we know that Renga was launched on a computer and the user clicked on some buttons, we can still hear from him in the end: “Yes, we looked, tried, we didn’t like it.” It’s a different matter when a partner comes to an enterprise and works together with its employees: carries out a pilot project, supports it, works out the wishes and objections of users and can confidently declare some positive result. This can already lead to sales.

So I have little faith in the effectiveness of collecting statistics on product installations and launches. And we don’t have such mechanisms.

In general, I would even put it differently: creating some complex licensing mechanisms and tracking the use of licenses is not in our interests now. We want to make it as easy and comfortable as possible for the user to install and use our product.

We cannot fight piracy. This should be done by competent authorities at the level of legislation, cultural education, and so on.
