Overview

Cryptlex models the people and companies you sell to with three entities: users, organizations, and resellers. How you bind a license depends on who your customer is: bind it to a user for an individual, to an organization to share one license across multiple users in a company, or allot licenses to a reseller who sells on your behalf. You can still license anonymously with just license keys, but creating these entities unlocks self-service portals, named user licensing, and delegated license management.

Users

A user represents a single end customer. A user can be as simple as a contact linked to a license, but users can also log in to the customer portal to view and manage their licenses, and are required for the named user licensing model. See Users.

Organizations

An organization groups users who belong to the same company, and it is how you link a single license to multiple users. You assign the license to the organization, and its admin distributes access through user groups from the customer portal. This lets you sell to a company rather than a single user, while the organization admin manages license distribution. See Organizations.

Resellers

A reseller represents a sales partner who sells your software. You allot licenses to the reseller, and its admin manages the licenses, users, and organizations under the account from a dedicated reseller portal. See Resellers.

Portal access by role

All of them can log in with email and password or through your identity provider. See SSO.
