Dataset card

Type: not stated
Format: Tabular — transaction/lot records (SKU, version, seat count, buy price, sell price, date, jurisdiction, seller trigger) with an attached scanned proof-of-purchase document archive; held in an internal trade ledger, no public feed.
Volume: Est. tens of thousands of priced lot records across 15+ years (13,000+ customers typically contributing one or a few license lots each, plus larger volume-license deals on the sell side), alongside a per-lot proof-of-purchase document archive. Request further research on exact trade count and average lot size.
Users: 13,000+ customers stated on the factbook (both sellers of unused licenses and buyers); on a ~15-person, ~EUR 4.3M revenue operation this implies a repeat-trade mid-market counterparty base rather than a consumer platform.
History: 20 years
Update frequency: not stated
Growth: Mature / structurally capped — 15+ years operating with ~15 staff and ~$4.3M revenue and no visible growth investment; the secondary perpetual-license market itself shrinks as publishers shift to subscription. The data's value rises even as the market declines.
Launched: pre-2005 — the 2020-dated factbook states usedSoft has been "on the market for more than 15 years", placing inception at or before ~2005; the company record also carries a pre-2010 organization vintage.
