Licensed software has been popular in large and medium State-owned enterprises in sectors such as tourism, insurance and banking, Zhai said.
As the piracy rate declines, the price of licensed software is rising rapidly, which may tempt some people to return to piracy, said Wang Weihua, an officer at the consulting company.
