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 create a workspace partition in Sentinel EMS. If your organization maintains different
product lines, you can maintain a different namespace for each product line and define multiple products in it.
Namespaces also allow you to provide permissions to vendor users accessing the catalog elements in a specific namespace.
•
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
>
Product Suites: A product suite is a combination of products that are meant to be sold together, according to your
product packaging plan.
>License Models: A license model defines the licensing conditions that control the use of a feature in a product.
