Description
License a lite or bespoke plugin to a hardware maker so it ships as the free bundle new owners must register to claim. Focusrite reports that more than half of newly registered Launchkey MK4 owners redeemed Novation Play, built with the small Swedish developer Klevgrand, at around 30% daily retention. Reach is well documented here and monetisation is not, so negotiate an upfront licence fee rather than betting on conversion.

KPIs to Track
Primary: redemption rate among newly registered hardware owners - Target: 50%+
Daily retention of the bundled tool - Benchmark: ~30%
Upfront licence fee secured, treated as the actual return on the deal
Upgrade rate of bundle-origin users to a paid product - measure it, no public benchmark exists
Direct email opt-ins captured through your own redemption flow
