Sentinel EMS is a licensing and entitlement management system for software and hardware device vendors. Its feature-centric catalog supports product packaging and licensing models such as perpetual, term subscription, device-based, usage-based, feature-based, trial, and offline or air-gapped licenses. Vendors can change packages and licensing models without depending on Operations, and automate provisioning and approvals using activation, entitlement, product, and order information. Customers can activate software on demand and use customizable customer or partner portals from any device or location. EMS can incorporate on-premises, cloud, or hybrid deployments and work with Sentinel or other license enforcement technologies. Integrations include back-office systems, a no-code Salesforce connection, REST APIs, event-driven webhooks, and MCP. Entitlement information can show deployment and usage trends, customer compliance, and contract or service agreement status. Thales positions the system for businesses selling software, especially those with complex product environments. Pricing is on request, and a free trial is available by request; no trial duration is stated.
