INTRAWARE TO PROVIDE SUBSCRIBENET KEY DELIVERY AND MANAGEMENT SERVICE TO IBM

ORINDA, Calif. - June 12, 2006 - Intraware, Inc. [NASDAQ: ITRA], a provider of digital delivery and management services, today announced that IBM has chosen Intraware's SubscribeNet (patent pending) license key management service.

SubscribeNet's online license key delivery and management service can provide IBM customers greater visibility and control over the license keys for software from IBM Information Integration Solutions, and help them generate, track and manage their license keys throughout their organizations using a common interface and secure authentication.

"Intraware is delighted to have been selected to provide such an important service to IBM Information Integration Solutions," said Richard Northing, Chief Operating Officer and EVP at Intraware. "Our license key delivery and management solution, which will run on an IBM WebSphere platform, has demonstrated its value to the IBM Rational division, and now IBM Information Integration Solutions can anticipate the same deployment and operational experience. IBM's expanded use of the Intraware solution continues to strengthen our position as the leading license key delivery and management service provider."

About Intraware's License Management

The license key management service is part of Intraware's License Management. "License Management provides software publishers with an effective solution to manage complex licensing models, including proprietary technologies and algorithms," said Paul Martinelli, Intraware's Chief Technology Officer. "This also automates many licensing management functions, which reduces a publisher's support burden while providing its customers an easy, self-service way to manage their licenses."

Available as an add-on or standalone service within the SubscribeNet platform, Intraware's License Management enables software publishers to use a set of reusable license templates to establish licensing rules across their entire product catalog. License templates can be reused for all products that operate under a common license model. Additionally, the license templates can support different licensing technologies, allowing the License Management module to generate licenses in a consistent manner for end users regardless of whether one or many license management technologies are used on the back-end. This is especially helpful to the typical software developer that possesses a combination of home-grown and third-party licensing technologies accumulated through acquisitions and disparate product development.

Equally important, SubscribeNet License Management provides software publisher customers with the tools to manage their entire licensing lifecycle. A single web interface enables the end user to download software and generate all electronic licenses required to activate and run a new product purchase. As new versions of the product are made available, the end user returns to the same web interface to download software updates and generate new licenses. The License Management module also allows users to return or re-host electronic licenses that have been previously generated. User activity is captured and readily available to the software publisher through license compliance reporting.
