License Feature Entitlements

Feature entitlements define what a license enables within your product. In Cryptlex, features can be associated with a license in two ways: via Entitlement Sets or directly on the license itself. This flexibility allows both standardized tier-based licensing and custom per-customer overrides.

Linking Feature Entitlements via Entitlement Sets

Entitlement Sets serve as reusable bundles of feature entitlements that can be linked to multiple licenses.

Use When:

• You offer predefined product tiers like "Standard", "Pro", or "Enterprise"
• You want to ensure consistency across licenses
• You prefer centralized management of feature entitlements

Assigning Features Entitlements Directly to a License

Feature entitlements can also be added directly to a license without using an Entitlement Set.

Use When:

• Each customer requires a specific configuration outside the standard tiers
• You need to override a value from the Entitlement Set for a specific license
• You want to grant temporary or experimental access to a feature

Combining Both Approaches

Cryptlex supports a hybrid approach where a license can use both an Entitlement Set and additional direct license-level feature entitlements.

Example:

• License uses the Pro Entitlement Set (with feature entitlement max_projects = 20)
• You override max_projects = 50 directly on the license
• You also add priority_support directly for this specific customer
