Licensing Information
We offer solutions and services designed to improve the business of every customer. We offer several pricing options, which are generally based upon the number of theaters and screens to be managed by the system.
A software license with Hollywood Software's world-class product support is ideal for larger customers with the resources to manage a complex database system and their own data.
Our ASP services were designed specifically for smaller distributors and exhibitors on a more limited budget who prefer to let Hollywood Software manage the system. Customers access and use the EMS system via a secure Internet connection to Hollywood Software’s state-of-the-art data center.
