We have software that we ship.

1458 Why He's Aiming for 20% FCF+Growth As $30M ARR Private Equity Owned Company

They deploy it within their cloud environment, but we're not actually managing anything.

Typically, if they want to keep distributing it, they would keep renewing the license.

Well, so again, it,
