• Key Concepts: 
  Software Entitlement is a term used to describe the rights and privileges associated with a software license. It is the process of granting access to a software product or service based on the terms of the license agreement. In SAP, the LOD-EMS Entitlement Management System (EMS) is used to manage software entitlements. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The EMS allows users to manage their software entitlements by creating and managing licenses, assigning entitlements to users, and tracking usage. It also provides an audit trail of all activities related to software entitlements. The EMS can be used to manage both internal and external software licenses. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using the EMS, it is important to ensure that all users have the correct entitlements for the software they are using. This can be done by regularly reviewing user access rights and making sure that only authorized users have access to the software. Additionally, it is important to keep track of any changes in user access rights or license agreements.
