Subscription Manager

Subscription Manager is a process of handling and managing the client information according to the required authentication setup.

Convergence Subscription Manager is a product that tracks installed subscriptions on a local system to help manage subscription assignments. It communicates with the backend subscription service (the Customer Portal or an on-premise server such as Subscription Asset Manager) and works with content management tools

On-Premise Subscription Service

After Subscription Manager is installed on a local system, it can track product installation, attached subscriptions, and subscriptions that are still available to be consumed. It also tracks subscription expirations and automatically attaches new subscriptions based on the system hardware and the product being attached. Most systems require simple registration. The default configuration registers the system with the main account to the Customer Portal.
