42Gears has recently adopted a multi-tier, multi-tenant model for providing licenses to partners. This model improves the efficiency with which 42Gears and its partners can distribute, share, and license software.

\nWhat exactly does this mean? Read on to find out!\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An Introduction to Licensing Models\n<\/strong>
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In a single-tenant<\/b> set-up, the software provider stores the data for each customer in a separate database; as a result, each database must run a separate instance of the software. In a multi-tenant set-up, a software provider stores many customers\u2019 data within a single database, so the company only needs one instance of their software to interface with every customer\u2019s data. As long as the database is encrypted, this multi-tenant model is significantly more efficient. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a single-tier<\/b> licensing set-up, the software provider offers only one kind of license. In a multi-tier licensing setup, the software provider offers several kinds of licenses to its customers, partners, and resellers based on their specific needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s an example of when this might be useful: say that a device manufacturer (also known as an original equipment manufacturer, or OEM) provides mobile device management to its customers as a way to add value to its offerings. The OEM can make a single account with 42Gears, and then take advantage of the multi-tenant structure to create multiple users (in this case, customer accounts). Each customer will have its own MDM console with personalized branding and other customized features, and the OEM can rely on the privacy and security of 42Gears\u2019 products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The OEM can now::<\/p>\n\n\n\n
