Abstract
A system may include a central computational instance disposed within a remote network management platform, where the central computational instance provides authoritative representations of software application licensing information to other computational instances, and where the other computational instances are dedicated to respective managed networks. The system may also include a particular computational instance that is configured to receive a representation of particular software application licensing information for a particular software application installed within the particular computational instance. The representation may include a set of entitlements, where an entitlement of the set of entitlements, when activated for the particular computational instance, allows the particular computational instance use of one or more features of the particular software application that are associated with the entitlement, and where the entitlement, when deactivated for the particular computational instance, prevents the particular computational instance from using the one or more features.
