Zusammenfassung:Techniques are provided for associating license entitlements to a customer of computer software or hardware in a multi-tiered distribution channel. A partner of a vendor places an order for computer products on behalf of the end user customer. The order may go through several distribution channels before the vendor receives the order. Upon receiving the order, a vendor license manager generates entitlements based on the order and prompts the partner to provide a customer identifier corresponding to a customer account maintained on the vendor cloud. Once the license manager receives the customer identifier, the license manager provisions the license entitlements to the customer account.
