TEXINTEL LIVE ROUNDTABLE - SECURING THE FUTURE OF CREATIVE PRODUCTION WITH NEDGRAPHICS AND 10DUKE
In this roundtable, NedGraphics President Frank Maeder and 10Duke CEO Neil Fenton unpack one of the least glamorous - but most business critical - topics in creative production: Software licensing.
Together, they explore why legacy hardware dongles and static license keys are holding the industry back, how COVID exposed their limitations, and why user‑centric, identity‑based licensing is now essential for global, hybrid workflows. From roaming designers in New York to production teams in remote factories, they reveal how to remove friction, reduce downtime, and keep creative tools securely in the hands of the people who need them.
If you’re in fashion, design, CAD/CAM, or any creative production environment and want to future‑proof your software delivery, this discussion is packed with insight and real‑world examples.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Licensing is a strategic bottleneck
NedGraphics identified legacy licensing - especially dongles and painful renewals - as one of its single biggest business problems, impacting every customer and consuming huge internal resources.User‑centric, identity‑based licensing removes friction
Moving from hardware dongles to licenses tied to user identity enables roaming designers to work seamlessly across locations, time zones, and devices while keeping access secure and controlled.Outsourcing licensing unlocks focus and speed
Partnering with a specialist like 10Duke lets software vendors stop reinventing the wheel, tap into deep licensing expertise, and focus their engineering teams on what they do best: building world‑class design tools.Cloud and hybrid models power global workflows
A mix of desktop and cloud‑based modules, underpinned by cloud licensing, supports global, always‑on collaboration - from designers in New York to production teams in remote factories or offline environments.Retiring dongles supports sustainability and resilience
Eliminating physical dongles reduces manufacturing waste and global shipping, while well‑architected cloud infrastructure (with uptime guarantees and failover strategies) improves reliability and business continuity.
