Choosing Between Sentinel LDK-EMS and Sentinel EMS

In addition to supporting Sentinel LDK, Sentinel EMS supports multiple enforcement types, including custom and third-party enforcements. Sentinel EMS is hosted on Thales servers, where it is enhanced continuously with improvements and updates. Sentinel EMS provides an advanced user interface and REST API to manage resources.

>Sentinel LDK-EMS is a legacy entitlement management system for Sentinel LDK. Sentinel LDK-EMS provides a user interface and REST API to manage resources.
