Who is Macrovision?
A. Macrovision is an ISV who acquired InstallShield on July 1, 2004. The acquisition expands Macrovision’s product portfolio in the Software Value Management category and enables Macrovision to reach InstallShield’s large software developer and system administrator customer bases. Macrovision expects that InstallShield’s established market leadership and strong brand equity will help to accelerate incremental sales of Macrovision’s FLEXnet electronic license management products. The solutions of both companies help software publishers and enterprise IT departments maximize the value of their software throughout the lifecycle from packaging and pricing through deployment, administration, and updating.
