Zentitle Cloud-Based Licensing
A cloud-based solution for licensing, entitlements, and monetization
What is cloud-based licensing?
Cloud-based licensing means the system of record for every license and entitlement lives in a managed multi-tenant service instead of on vendor-run infrastructure. Zentitle has offered this model since 2005 and removes the burden of building and operating licensing servers in-house.
Why cloud-based licensing matters
Running your own licensing infrastructure drains engineering time, makes you responsible for uptime, and slows time-to-market for new pricing and packaging. Cloud-based licensing gives you a 99.9%+ SLA, global low-latency access and ongoing platform improvements with no operational cost.
How it works in Zentitle
You define entitlements in the Zentitle Cloud and your applications interact with them through documented APIs and SDKs.
- Licensing API and generated SDK libraries for on-prem activation on Windows, Mac, Linux, and embedded Linux
- REST-based Licensing API for SaaS applications
- Management API for creating and modifying entitlements from CRM, ERP or e-commerce
- Integrations with Salesforce, NetSuite, Dynamics, Zoho, Stripe, Zuora, Chargify and more

One of the innovations that Nalpeiron brought to the market a number of years ago was the whole approach of cloud-based licensing. So rather than having to run your own infrastructure, you simply get an account with us on our multi-tenant platform, and we can set everything up for you, give you that full SLA of 99.9%+ and you can get up and running very quickly.
Now the way cloud-based licensing works is you can create This set of entitlements within our cloud, we give you a full set of APIs, a management API, as well as a license licensing API. And so the full system of record of who bought what is contained within that Zentitle Cloud.
And then your end customers can access the rights that those entitlements represent by either our SAS licensing API, again, straight rest-based connection between your application and the Zentitle Cloud.
We have for your on-prem applications. We can generate a library for you, so a DLL, shared object, Dialib, etcetera, depending on the OS that you're working with, and that can be used to activate a given entitlement in those on-prem environments.
And we even support, you know, various embedded environments, embedded Linux, etc. So if you have some hardware based product where you need to be able to monetize part of the value of that hardware product based on software monetization principles, subscriptions, feature based licensing capacity, etc., then you can leverage it that way as well. So all of this then connects to whatever your order fulfillment process is, whether it's a CRM like Salesforce, Zoho, NetSuite, what have you, dynamics, e-commerce environments like Stripe, Zuora, Chargify, and so forth. So by having Zentitle as a cloud-based licensing platform at the core of your Organization, you get full visibility into everything that you're responsible for providing to your customers, as well as the ability to manage the life cycle and update of all those entitlements over time.
