Sentinel EMS
Meudon, France
What it is
Sentinel EMS is a paid enterprise system for software and hardware vendors managing licenses and entitlements. Its feature-centric product catalog supports existing or new licensing models, including perpetual, subscription, device-based, usage-based, feature-based, trial, and offline or air-gapped licenses. Vendors can change product packaging and licensing models without depending on Operations. Automated provisioning and approval workflows combine activation and entitlement data with product and order details. Customers can activate software on demand and use customizable self-service portals from any device or location; vendors can also provide portals for partners and channel users. Deployments can include on-premises, cloud, or hybrid environments and work with Sentinel or other license enforcement technologies. Thales lists back-office integration, a no-code Salesforce connection, REST APIs, event-driven webhooks, and MCP integration. Entitlement data can show product deployment and usage trends, customer compliance, and contract or service agreement status. Pricing is on request. Thales is headquartered in Meudon, France.
