Abstract
Example implementations relate to network device subscription management. For example, a non-transitory machine-readable medium may store instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to receive a selection of a network device for subscription management, and receive a selection of a service subscription for the network device and a duration of the service subscription. Moreover, the system may include instructions to determine a service subscription token value based on the selection of the network device, the service subscription, and the duration of the service subscription, and provision the network device with the service subscription for the duration responsive to allocation of the determined service subscription token value.
Claims20
A non-transitory machine readable medium storing instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to:
- receive a selection of a network device for subscription management;
- receive a selection of a service subscription for the network device and a duration of the service subscription;
- determine a service subscription token value based on the selection of the network device, the service subscription, and the duration of the service subscription;
- and
- provision the network device with the service subscription for the duration responsive to allocation of the determined service subscription token value.
A non-transitory machine readable medium storing instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to:
- receive a selection of a plurality of service subscription tokens for network device subscription management;
- allocate the plurality of service subscription tokens, wherein:
- a first portion of the plurality of service subscription tokens is allocated to a first device-service provisioning;
- and
- a second portion of the plurality of service subscription tokens is allocated to a second device-service provisioning;
- and
- provision a plurality of network devices according to the first device-service provisioning and the second device-service provisioning.
A system for subscription management comprising:
- a plurality of network services managed by a network device subscription manager;
- and
- a network device subscription manager communicatively coupled to a network device, the network device subscription manager including a non-transitory machine readable medium storing instructions executable to:
- allocate a first portion of a plurality of service subscription tokens to a first device-service provisioning;
- allocate a second portion of the plurality of service subscription tokens to a second device-service provisioning;
- and
- provision the network device according to the first device-service provisioning and the second device-service provisioning.
