What is software escrow?
Software Escrow is a service (software escrow) where a third-party provider (the escrow trustee) stores the source code files of a software or an entire business-critical software system and ensures that these files are accessible in the event of a specific event (e.g. a conflict between the software owner and the software licensee). The purpose of software escrow is to reduce the licensee's dependence on the software and to ensure that the licensee continues to have access to the software even if the software owner is no longer available or no longer supports the software. *** Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version) ***

The software trustee in the software license model
The licensee acquires software from the licensor which it operates on its own IT infrastructure/hardware (self-hosted). Adjustments to the front and back-end layout are possible without access to the source code and data is generated and stored through the operation of the software. Far-reaching changes to the basic and security functions of the software can only be carried out with access to the source code. Maintenance and further development of the software is therefore only possible by the licensor. If the licensor fails, the licensee can only use the software in its latest version. Developments, such as security updates and functional improvements, are excluded.
As neutral trustee (Escrow-Agent) DENIC solves this business-critical conflict of interest by securely storing the source code. In the escrow agreement, the reasons for surrender are agreed between the licensor (supplier) and the licensee (beneficiary). If a contractual event occurs, the trustee hands over the source code to the licensee. This ensures that the software can continue to be used without restriction in the event of a crisis.
