Part 3: Consuming a License

The RMS Cloud LM obtains the licenses from Sentinel EMS soon after activation and allows anywhere-anytime use by clients (web applications, desktop or server applications, or mobile devices). As a vendor, you can implement that either using the SCP-integrated library or by calling the RMS Cloud LM REST APIs directly.

RMS Cloud LM supports the following two types of consumption options:

Consumption Options	Description	Suitable for
SCP-Integrated library	A licensing library that provides an easy-to-use Unified API-based wrapper that also takes care of the authentication tasks.	•Desktop applications in C, Java, .NET. Refer to the Sentinel RMS API Reference Guide for API workflow. •Flexible hybrid implementations that allow licensing on a standalone system, network License Manager, and Cloud LM.
RMS Cloud LM REST API	RMS Cloud LM provides a set of new modern REST API for licensing referred to as the Cloud LM services. These licensing REST API make use of the token generated by the token management services for authentication.	Applications written for any language or platform not supported by the SCP-integrated library
