Michelin's Secret to Securely Licensing Advanced Simulation Software

How do industrial companies safely commercialize highly specialized software while protecting intellectual property and simplifying licensing?

In this customer testimonial, Ali Rezgui, Business Director at Michelin Simulation Services, explains how Michelin uses Thales Sentinel to securely license and deliver advanced simulation software to customers in a professional, scalable way.

Michelin originally developed simulation software for internal tire testing and validation. When the company decided to offer this technology commercially, it needed a solution that could protect valuable IP, control software usage, and dramatically reduce the time and effort required to manage licenses. As Ali explains, licensing complexity was slowing the business down and consuming valuable resources.

With Thales Sentinel software licensing, Michelin was able to:

• Protect high-value simulation software and intellectual property

• License software professionally to external customers

• Reduce the time spent managing licensing and software protection

• Deliver digital tools more efficiently and at scale

• Support Michelin’s broader shift toward software-led growth

“Our life was complicated. You spend days and days to make sure software is licensed correctly and protected correctly. With your solution, we saved a lot of time.”
— Ali Rezgui, Business Director, Michelin Simulation Services
