Get started

You can model a product, publish an entitlement and issue an activation code entirely in the portal — no programming. Enforcing the license you issue happens in your application, so the last step is wiring in the SDK or the REST API. Pick the path that fits you; the paths share the same model, so doing one makes the others obvious.

  1. Sign up with your email and a company name, then click the link in the verification email. That creates your account — your own tenant of Oclavex, at its own web address.
  2. Set your password from the invite email that follows, and sign in. Your account’s web address is your Provision Portal.
  3. Create your first product and add a feature.
  4. Create and publish an entitlement so it can be activated.
  5. Issue an activation code and activate your app or device with it.
  6. Watch it work — activations and usage appear on the dashboard.

You’re watching Oclavex work before you issue anything: your own account runs on an Oclavex entitlement, so the trial and the plan limits you see in the portal are Oclavex enforcing a license on its own account.

The Oclavex Provision Portal dashboard

The Provision Portal dashboard — active subscriptions, trials, license utilization, the entitlement mix and where your customers are, at a glance.

When you’re ready to enforce licenses and report usage from your own software:

  • Developer path — drop a client SDK into your app and gate a feature on an entitlement.
  • API quickstart — the same loop against the REST API, for any language.

The use cases for a SaaS product, a desktop application, on-premises & air-gapped software or connected devices each map the pieces and end at the right first step.
