Traditional model for selling software is based on licenses which is in a way anonymous. Yes it can be defeated but the point is that there is little to no overhead to the company providing the software or the user - i.e. additional sign ups and login. I was looking for something like this and I believe I am close to achieving it but I wanted some additional opinion before I pull the trigger. In terms of licensing the SaaS offering, I am planning to use licenses which the client-side software validates. Obviously this is not going to work for server-side stuff. However, I am thinking that down the line I can always validate users through their emails as you suggested in your comment. Thanks for this. It is an interesting problem to crack and although not very conventional it should provide the user with more flexibility. Obviously, some types of SaaS companies will never be able to adopt this type of model maybe due to huge upfront cost.
