Zentitle Platform: Flexible Software Monetization Across All Environments

The Zentitle platform enables software vendors to apply various software monetization strategies across any deployment model- SaaS, on-premises, hybrid, or even hardware and IoT. This flexibility ensures you can meet diverse customer needs, maximize revenue, and streamline operations, regardless of your technical stack or customer environment.

Supported Deployment Models for License Management Software

Model
Details

SaaS

Supports both multi-tenant (rights enforced per tenant) and single-tenant (dedicated instance per account) deployments on AWS, Azure, GCP, or similar cloud platforms.

On-Premises

Full support for Windows (Intel & ARM), Mac (Intel & Apple Silicon), and Linux (Intel & ARM).

Hybrid

Seamless sharing of licenses between SaaS and on-premises environments, allowing flexible seat allocation.

Hardware & IoT

Monetize hardware and IoT products with feature-based, capacity-based, and usage-based licensing.

Software Licensing Flexibility & APIs

Feature
Description

Unified Licensing

Implement licensing once and use the same APIs across all environments (SaaS, on-prem, hybrid).

SDKs & Language Support

Full SDKs for .NET, C#, C++, Java, Python, and more, plus OpenAPI-based REST APIs for easy integration.

Dynamic Entitlements

Update customer rights instantly without customer intervention, supporting agile business models.

Management APIs

OAuth2-secured APIs for entitlement creation, provisioning, seat activation, and webhooks for event notifications.

Software License Sharing & Seat Allocation

Zentitle enables customers to mix and match license usage across environments. For example, a 10-seat license can be distributed as follows:

Environment
Seats Used

SaaS Application

5

Windows Desktop

2

Mac Desktop

3

This approach gives both vendors and customers the freedom to allocate and reallocate seats as needed, maximizing flexibility and value.

Software Monetization Models & Features

Perpetual & Subscription

Support for perpetual, subscription (monthly, annual, biennial), and maintenance models.

Feature-Based Licensing

Enable or disable features per customer or segment entirely through licensing.

Capacity & Usage-Based

Restrict or bill based on capacity limits or actual usage, with detailed analytics.

Concurrent & Floating

Pool-based licensing for concurrent or floating user scenarios, including local license server for offline use.

Tiered & Custom Pricing

Tiered pricing, upselling tools, automated renewals, overdrafts, and grace periods.

Usage Analytics

Comprehensive usage reporting, license usage graphs, renewal intelligence, and customer engagement insights.

License management software, Platform Architecture & Integration

Feature
Description

Multi-Tenant & Single-Tenant

Host as a multi-tenant cluster (default on AWS) or as a single-tenant instance in custom environments.

High Availability & Scalability

Docker/Kubernetes architecture with TurboScaling for consistent performance.

OpenAPI & Webhooks

Modern integration via REST APIs, SDKs, and event-driven webhooks for automation.

Security & Compliance

OAuth2 authentication, secure key management, and support for high-security/offline deployments.

Key Benefits of the Zentitle Software monetization system

  • Mix and match licensing: Customers can use their entitlements across SaaS and on-premises deployments, with full flexibility in seat allocation.

  • Rapid go-to-market: Launch new business models and pricing structures without re-engineering your product.

  • Comprehensive platform support: Windows, Mac, Linux, ARM, Intel, SaaS, server, hardware, and IoT-all covered.

  • Centralized management: Single source of truth for entitlements, usage, and customer activity, with real-time analytics and automated workflows.

  • Reduced support overhead: Dynamic entitlements and automated renewals minimize manual intervention and customer support needs.

Zentitle empowers software companies to monetize, manage, and control their products with unmatched flexibility-whether your customers operate in the cloud, on-premises, or across both.
