Use Cases

The following use cases demonstrate how Entitlement Sets and license-level feature entitlements in Cryptlex can be used to define product behavior, manage license tiers, and enforce custom limits.

1. Product Tiering

Organizations often offer multiple editions of their product, such as Standard, Pro, and Enterprise, with different capabilities. Entitlement Sets help group relevant feature entitlements into reusable tiers.

For Example:

Tier	Feature Entitlements
Standard	basic_export
Pro	basic_export, analytics_dashboard
Enterprise	basic_export, analytics_dashboard, priority_support, team_sharing

Licenses are linked to the relevant Entitlement Set, and the application logic checks which features are enabled to control access.

2. Usage Limits with Feature Values

Feature values can be used to define usage limits, such as the number of projects, users, or API calls.

Example:

• Feature: max_team_members

• Value: 5, 20, or unlimited

• Usage: The application reads the value at runtime and enforces the limit accordingly.

This approach enables dynamic limits without requiring new builds or manual configuration.

3. Controlled Feature Rollouts (Beta Access)

Entitlements can be used to enable or disable features for a specific group of users, such as beta testers.

Example:

• Features: beta_dark_mode, ai_autocomplete

• Added only to selected licenses

• Application checks for feature presence before enabling UI or functionality

This allows safe, controlled rollouts without the need for separate builds.
