Catalog

The catalog includes entities that are intended for employees of your organization who are involved in conceptualizing product packaging and licensing plans. Typically, product managers create and maintain the catalog. The catalog comprises the following entities:

>Namespaces: Namespaces are provided by Thales and represent your company's unique vendor code. In Sentinel LDK, namespaces are known as batch codes. When you order Sentinel protection keys from Thales, you specify your namespace (batch code), which is both written to the keys before dispatch and printed on the outside of each Sentinel HL key. The namespace for Sentinel protection keys with a demo vendor code is DEMOMA.

>Features: A feature is a distinct functionality of a software application that can be independently licensed. Features are the basic building blocks of a product. One or more features can be bundled into a product according to your product monetization model.

>Products: A product is a salable entity that contains one or more bundled features and memory files. A product can be a software application, hardware, or a service that you can sell or license according to your licensing plan.

>License Models: A license model defines the licensing conditions that control the use of a feature in a product.

>Memory: A data file that is used for storing strings in a Sentinel protection key.
