Sentinel Licensing models
A license model is a combination of various parameters that define how a product can be used by a customer. Sentinel EMS provides you the flexibility to add multiple license models to your product, so that you can generate different types of licenses according to your requirement. Sentinel LDK allows you to define various license models as per a specific customer, a specific geographical location, business model, or any other. License models map different license attributes into logical groups, which define how a protected application is to be deployed and used. These attributes are generically defined properties (including name, data type, and possible range) making-up a license.
