ARI Network Services, Inc. (CIK No. 0000879796)
Request for Withdrawal of Document Filed under Form Type S-1/A (File No. 333-188093), filed March 27, 2014

Ladies and Gentlemen:

On March 27, 2014, ARI Network Services, Inc. (the “Company”) filed, pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), Prospectus Supplement No. 5 (the “Prospectus Supplement”) to the Company’s prospectus dated November 15, 2013 inadvertently using EDGAR form type “S-1/A” rather than the correct EDGAR form type, “424B3.”  Shortly thereafter on the same day, the Company re-filed the Prospectus Supplement using the correct form type.

Pursuant to Rule 477 under the Securities Act, the Company hereby applies for withdrawal of the Prospectus Supplement filed on March 27, 2014 under EDGAR form type “S-1/A.”  The Company respectfully requests that the Commission issue an order granting such withdrawal as soon as practicable.

If you have any questions or require any additional information in connection with this request, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned at the number below, or the Company’s outside counsel, C.J. Wauters of Godfrey & Kahn, S.C. at (414) 287-9663.  Thank you for your attention to this request.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Bill Nurthen
