Revenera announced the availability
of
InstallShield 2021. The leading solution for Microsoft
Windows installations fully supports installations for Windows 11, which will
launch later this year.
With
this new release, Revenera also announced the availability of a cloud
licensing option that eliminates the operational
overhead required to get the solution up and running, easing the process for
users of adopting InstallShield and better supporting cloud build environments.
Software vendors using InstallShield can now choose between local and cloud
managed licensing, making it easier to adapt the implementation to meet their
own and their customers' needs in connected and disconnected
environments.
By changing the
monetization model for InstallShield to a subscription model, Revenera is also
moving to the prevalent monetization model in the industry. "By offering
InstallShield as a subscription, we are meeting the preferences of our
customers who want to subscribe to a solution," said Nicole Segerer, VP of
Products and Marketing at Revenera. "Subscription is the industry standard for
any software. It provides our customers with lower annual spend and the maximum
level of service that they need to be successful with InstallShield."
InstallShield
helps developers deliver clean installs, upgrades and uninstalls for single
software products, packages and suites. The new 2021 release allows users to:
- Install packages
directly from Windows Package Manager, enabling seamless installs of required
third-party packages,
- Add support for
updates in Microsoft's packaging format, MSIX, ensuring that MSIX applications
are updated automatically,
- Build modern,
one-click installers, and
- Run and create
installers for the latest version of Microsoft Windows.
"InstallShield has
been the standard for Windows installations for over three decades. With every
release, Revenera strives to deliver the best-possible experience for
developers building installers and their end customers, whose first touch point
with a software product is the installation. InstallShield 2021 helps
streamline installations even more. The automation of updates, like those
for MSIX, delivers new efficiencies and an excellent end user experience" said
Venkat Ram Donga, Product Management Leader for InstallShield.
