Planned Architecture: Any License Model, No Custom Development
Prism's 4-dimensional model will compose independently to support any licensing scenario from simple named-perpetual to complex floating-subscription-offline-quota.
License Term
Perpetual: One-time purchase
Subscription: Monthly/annual renewal
Trial: Time-limited evaluation
Assignment
Named: Specific user assignment
Floating: Shared seat pool
Device: Machine-locked
Site: Location-based
Connectivity
Online: Real-time validation
Offline: Air-gapped environments
Hybrid: Graceful degradation
Feature Control
Binary: Feature on/off
Quota-Based: Usage limits
Tiered: Multiple packages
These dimensions will compose independently, enabling thousands of unique licensing configurations
