Difference between Software Entitlement and allocation

[Amit_H]

I have gone through some docs but not able to understand the difference between Software Entitlement and allocation.

Can someone explain me in simple language.

Hi @Amit_H ,

Software Entitlement: An Entitlement is a right to use, access or consume an application or resource. 

Example- A customer may purchase an Entitlement to use an application in “perpetual” license, or they may purchase a time-limited right to use an application (such as a one-year subscription license).

Software allocation: Software allocations are used to assign one or more use rights to a specific device or user.
