IoT Device Licensing & Analytics
If you specialize in intelligent devices or sub-components — in consumer, professional, or industrial markets — you can leverage the Zentitle Licensing and Analytics platform to control, measure, and monetize your offerings.
The Short Answer
What is IoT device licensing?
IoT device licensing applies software-style entitlement control to connected devices and their sub-components. A licensing platform controls which features, capacity limits, and connected services a device can use — independent of the hardware itself.
That means one manufacturing SKU can be sold at multiple price points, and what a device is entitled to can change after it has already shipped — see the full hardware & IoT licensing overview for how feature control, connected services, and business models fit together.
Capabilities
Control, measure, and monetize IoT devices
Enterprise-class control and measurement for intelligent devices and sub-components, on the platforms IoT actually ships on.
Feature-Based Licensing
Turn specific features on or off for a given customer or market segment, entirely through secure licensing — no separate firmware builds.
Capacity-Based Licensing
Securely restrict a device to a specific capacity limit — connections, throughput, storage, or any measurable ceiling you define.
Multi-Platform Support
License devices running Android, ARM, embedded Linux, and QNX, alongside Windows, Mac, and desktop Linux.
Connected Service Monetization
Sell and control access to the cloud services your device talks to — storage, external processing, and data analysis.
Sub-Component Licensing
License at the level of an intelligent sub-component, independent of the finished product it ends up inside.
Every Market Tier
From consumer to professional to industrial-grade devices, the same platform scales to the entitlement model each market needs.
