Explanation:
It is a little wierld to me that "compatible" was not used, if it turely meant to be 兼容 here.
A little more context will be helpful, so we know what are the softwares supposed to conform to. However considering it is "Licensor's sole responsibility" here we are talking about, and they shouldn't be responsible for compatibility between softwares, I dare to guess "conform" here means 符閤(xxx條件/要求等), or 與(同類産品的質量等)一致。

  -> Thanks!

agree  Jason Ma: 兼容is a good word. does it necessary to add 合用? 是不是还有“符合”的意思,就像在下面的句子中: a computer that conforms to the manufacturer's advertising claims
47 mins
  -> 因为上下文不全,不能确定只用兼容就OK了,我的意见。

neutral  clearwater: so的意思没有翻译出来哦。//我觉得应该是这样。
1 hr
  -> so我觉得没必要译出,非要译出的话就加个“那么”吧,不那么兼容,不那么合用,感觉不舒服呢。>>Second Thought: 加个“很”似乎不错哦,不很兼容,不很合用。你觉得如何?Thanks!

agree  Robin Song (X): wierld --> weird, softwares --> software
9 hrs
  -> Thank you very much for the corrections Robin. Acutually I saw another one myself too: "what are the software(s)" should be "what the software(s) are" ;-) Will be more careful next time.

agree  Huijun Suo: 并不指软件的”兼容“,而是指”符合...条件/条款“,所以用 conform 而不用 compatible
