Account-Based Licensing

Account-Based Licensing is a modern, user-centric approach that replaces traditional license codes with a username-and-password login system. Users access software through credential-based login, centralizing entitlements and simplifying management.

Key Features:

• Streamlines user experience.

• Reduces support issues related to license codes.

• Enhances control over software access and usage.

Benefits:

• Aligns with SaaS and mobile app user expectations.

• Potentially increases adoption and customer satisfaction.

Trends:

• Integration with single sign-on (SSO) and biometric authentication.

• AI-driven entitlement management and analytics.

• Expansion to IoT and cross-platform solutions.

Account-Based Licensing is best for organizations seeking to modernize distribution, improve user experience, and reduce management complexity.
