Entitlement Management Service

Trimble EMS v4 Developer Guide

Trimble EMS v4 is the core service backing our sales, license administration, and product license check tools. Entitlements tell us and our customers what products they have access to, which users or what devices have access to those products, and for how long they have access.

The Trimble EMS v4 is connected to three key processes in a customer’s lifecycle with a product:

  • Order processing and fulfillment: This process is tightly integrated with the Global Salesforce and back-office systems to ensure that orders are fulfilled and license delivery to the customer is complete immediately upon purchase.
  • License assignment and administration: AccountExperience tools allow our customers to view their purchased products and assign licenses to users or devices.
  • License checks and license enforcement: Trimble EMS v4 APIs can be called by applications when users log in to determine the functionality they have access to and record usage of that functionality to ensure they remain within the limits of their licenses.

Trimble’s EMS v4 can be adopted alongside the Global Salesforce and AccountExperience as part of your business’s Digital Transformation. We can also leverage EMS v4 flex provisioning to directly adopt EMS v4 outside of DX.

Many key actions to set your business and products up for success, such as SKU simplification and rationalization, are key steps in adopting EMS v4.
