Software Supply Studio
Licensed, protected, supported — software that keeps your business running
Why It Matters
The Hidden Cost of Unlicensed Software
Most businesses underestimate the risks of unlicensed, outdated, or unsupported software — until it's too late.
Legal Penalties from Unlicensed Software
Running unlicensed software exposes your business to audits, fines, and lawsuits. Software vendors actively pursue piracy — and settlements can reach thousands of dollars per installation, plus legal fees and reputational damage.
Security Vulnerabilities from Outdated Software
Unpatched and outdated software is the #1 attack vector for cybercriminals. Known vulnerabilities become public targets within days — and without vendor support, there are no patches to protect you from ransomware, data breaches, and malware.
No Support When Things Go Wrong
Without valid licenses, you have no access to vendor support, no priority bug fixes, and no upgrade path. When critical software fails, you're on your own — with no SLA, no escalation path, and no guaranteed resolution.

Per-User vs Per-Device
Per-user licensing covers a single person across multiple devices. Per-device licensing covers a single machine regardless of who uses it. Choose based on how your team works.
- Per-user: ideal for remote/mobile workers with multiple devices
- Per-device: ideal for shared workstations and shift-based teams
- Per-user: better for organizations with hot-desking
- Per-device: often more cost-effective for labs and kiosks
Best for: Choose per-user for mobile teams, per-device for shared workstations

FAQ
Common Questions
Why should I buy software through Backspace instead of directly?
We consolidate your entire software portfolio — security, productivity, backup, and OS licenses — under one managed agreement. This means volume discounts, a single point of contact for all vendors, proactive renewal management, and we handle compliance tracking so you never face an audit surprise.
How do you ensure software is genuine and properly licensed?
We source directly from authorized distributors and maintain direct partnerships with Microsoft, ESET, Kaspersky, and Veeam. Every license comes with a verifiable key, proof of purchase, and vendor registration. We provide full documentation for audit readiness.
What happens when my licenses expire?
We track all license expirations and notify you 90, 60, and 30 days before renewal. We handle the renewal process end-to-end — negotiating rates where possible and ensuring zero disruption. Most renewals are processed automatically with your approval.
Can you manage software for a hybrid workforce with remote users?
Absolutely. We deploy cloud-managed security solutions (ESET PROTECT Cloud, Kaspersky Security Center) that protect remote devices regardless of location. Backup solutions cover cloud and local data. Microsoft 365 licenses work across all devices for any user.
How do you handle software audits from vendors?
We maintain a complete audit trail — every license, key, proof of purchase, and deployment record is documented and accessible. If a vendor requests an audit, we prepare and respond on your behalf. Our clients consistently pass audits with zero penalties.
