Software Licensing: Getting It Right from the Start

In today’s episode, we explore the complex world of software licensing agreements as software becomes increasingly customised, embedded in business operations, and central to digital strategy. But with greater reliance comes greater risk: poor licensing terms can lead to compliance failures, operational friction, or even costly IP disputes.

We speak with Ong Johnson and Lo Khai Yi, Partners and leaders of the Technology Practice Group at Halim Hong & Quek. Together, we unpack key elements to consider when negotiating software license agreements — including user requirements, testing protocols, compliance responsibilities, and source code escrow.
