put sth. into practice
Explanation:
would be the translation of umsetzen. But I think the author hasn't chosen the right word here.

Suggestion: As regards the licensing of future products, we have drafted a new section VIII which we tried to formulate to the effect that a licence will be granted.

Might sound awful, but so does the German sentence.

Explanation:
As to the licensing of future products ... we have tried to take care of that point by inserting a new section VIII stipulating that a license will be granted.

... vielleicht ein bißchen zu flapsig - das kommt auf den Stil des Schreibens und den Adressaten an.

Explanation:
...may also work (i.e., it is an alternative to the suggestions made by SelecTra and Veronika).

I agree with Veronika that the author seems to have chosen the incorrect term (besides forgetting "gehend" after "dahin")... I'm not sure how one could "implement" licensing for future products by issuing a license (a statement that seems pretty redundant to me anyway).
