Frequently asked questions

How does Software Escrow help you build digital resilience?

Software Escrow strengthens digital resilience by storing your on-premise software's source code and data in a secure vault. This ensures quick recovery if something happens to your live software so you can keep your operations steady and compliant without disruption.

For what purpose is software escrow most commonly used?

Businesses commonly use software escrow to protect on-premise applications. It guarantees access to source code and critical assets, so vendors prove reliability to clients, and clients maintain functionality despite unexpected setbacks.

What is a software escrow agent?

A software escrow agent acts as a neutral third party — like Codeekeper — who securely holds your software's source code, data, and documents. We manage deposits, verify usability, and release assets under agreed conditions to safeguard your recovery and continuity.

What is protected by a software escrow agreement?

A software escrow agreement protects your software's essentials: source code for redeployment, application data for functionality, and digital documents like IP with timestamped ownership proof. Together, these keep your on-premises software recoverable.

What are the release conditions for a software escrow agreement?

Release conditions kick in when predefined triggers occur — vendor bankruptcy, failure to maintain software or contract breaches. Once met, we provide immediate access to your deposited assets, ensuring swift recovery without delays.

What proof of protection does Software Escrow provide?

Software Escrow delivers verifiable proof through a recovery certificate. After we validate your deposited assets, this document assures clients, auditors, and regulators that your software remains recoverable at all times.

What are the benefits of Software Escrow?

Software Escrow saves you $5,000 in legal fees with custom agreements, cuts 40+ hours of DevOps work with daily syncs, and secures your software with AES256/512 encryption. It boosts trust and keeps your business running smoothly.

Do we need Software Escrow if we have a disaster recovery plan in place?

Yes, because disaster recovery plans often lack source code access. Software Escrow fills that gap by securing code and data for on-premises apps, ensuring full recovery even if your vendor disappears — something backups alone can't promise.
