CRA Compliance Briefing: Software Protection, Support Obligations and the Subscription Advantage - 30 de abril de 2026 - TecnoWebinars.com

The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is now in force. It affects every company that sells software or hardware into European markets. Under the CRA, every perpetual license product sold in the EU carries a default five-year security support obligation. This means security updates, patches and vulnerability management — for every customer, on every product, for five years. The cost and complexity of this commitment is significant. There is a better option. The CRA treats subscription-based products differently. Vendors who move to a subscription model can remove this five-year support obligation entirely. This is not just a compliance advantage. It is a commercial one. Subscription licensing means lower compliance risk, predictable recurring revenue, and a stronger competitive position in the EU market.
