ORINDA, Calif.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—June 22, 2004—
Intraware, Inc. (Nasdaq:ITRA) the provider of digital
delivery services that enable technology companies to manage complex
customer entitlements, enhance visibility of customer activity and
accelerate profits, today announced that Mentor Graphics Corporation,
a world leader in electronic hardware and software design solutions,
completed a successful pilot of the Intraware SubscribeNet(R) solution
and has signed an agreement for the service.
Mentor Graphics(R) is a technology leader in electronic design
automation (EDA) and provides software and hardware design solutions
that enable companies in fast-paced markets such as wireless

electronic products faster and more cost-effectively. Mentor Graphics
has the broadest portfolio of best-in-class products and provides its

provide Mentor Graphics customers with immediate, 24/7 access to their
software, licenses and updates. They will also have a variety of
online tools to help them maximize the value of these assets,
including a personalized and secure archive of all entitled Mentor
Graphics software, proactive email notification of updates, and the
ability to monitor and track updates and downloads across their
organizations.
Mentor Graphics will also benefit from access to the SubscribeNet
service's flexible, real-time administration functionality, including
granular subscription management, extensive reporting and automated
regulatory compliance features that enable technology companies to
employ a single automated solution to smoothly integrate their
delivery processes into their customer support, product management and
other business systems to reduce their operational and support costs
while increasing customer satisfaction.

resulted in the decision to standardize on our SubscribeNet service,"
