Frequently asked questions

Subscription platforms manage billing. Sentinel manages what happens after the sale. It connects your commercial systems to licensing, entitlements, access, and deployment, so customers get exactly what they bought, and your business stays in control across the full lifecycle.

Yes. Sentinel supports APIs, web services, webhooks, connectors, and even third-party or homegrown licensing environments, so teams can improve control and reduce manual work. No need to rip out current operational dependencies.
 

As AI capabilities move between premium add-ons, usage-based, user-based, and core subscription tiers, Sentinel allows you to adjust entitlements, access, and packaging without rebuilding your operations. Beyond monetization flexibility, it also protects the IP behind your software and AI capabilities.

Yes. That is a core requirement for many of the software vendors we serve. Sentinel is designed to manage entitlements and licensing across SaaS, on-prem, hybrid, embedded, and mixed environments from one foundation, which helps reduce fragmentation as portfolios evolve.

Thales Sentinel offers services to help teams plan, implement, and optimize their software monetization approach.
