Licensing & Analytics for Industrial Manufacturers
Companies producing machinery and electronics for industrial use can take control of ensuring their customers are using hardware as sold — and change customer entitlements in the field via cloud-based licensing.
The Short Answer
What is industrial hardware licensing?
Industrial hardware licensing controls how robotics, medical devices, drones, industrial automation, and heavy machinery are used after they leave the factory. Zentitle enforces and changes customer entitlements remotely — no new build required per sector or customer.
It applies to devices that incorporate a significant investment in their underlying software — see the full hardware & IoT licensing overview for how feature control, connected services, and business models fit together.
Capabilities
Built for industrial-grade hardware
Licensing for companies producing devices that incorporate a significant investment in their underlying software.
Field Entitlement Changes
Change customer entitlements in the field via cloud-based licensing — propagation takes effect with no manual intervention.
Feature Control for Common Hardware
Deliver differentiated solutions across robotics, drones, automation, and heavy machinery from a single hardware configuration.
Capacity-Based Restrictions
Securely restrict a given customer to using your device up to a specific capacity limit.
Every Industrial Sector
Automotive, aerospace, defense, healthcare, and energy — the same platform scales to the entitlement model each sector needs.
Sub-Component Licensing
License at the level of the sub-component that carries the software investment, independent of the finished machine.
Dark-Site Licensing
Local License Server activates and enforces licenses entirely on-premises, for facilities with no internet access.
