What Hardware Licensing Unlocks

Secure new, untapped revenue streams

Monetize your hardware and IoT products by turning features on and off through subscriptions and purchases — and by controlling access to the additional cloud-based services your hardware talks to.

Feature Control & Upsells

Turn features on or off through subscriptions and purchases — securing untapped revenue streams from hardware you already ship.

Connected Cloud Services

Sell and control access to the cloud services your hardware talks to — storage, external processing, and more — adding value your customers will pay for.

Instant Upgrade Paths

Sell higher-tier configurations by turning on new features or limits in a device's internal software. Upgrades become instant, with no new hardware required.

Connection Permission Control

Control exactly what your hardware can connect to in the field — and what's permitted to connect to it — all governed through licensing.

Business Models

Bring every software business model to hardware

All kinds of business models normally associated with software are now available for your hardware and IoT products.
