 ## Overview
 
+The licensing features of the Replicated Platform allow vendors to securely grant access to software, making license agreements available to the application in end customer environments at startup and runtime.
+
+The Replicated Vendor Portal also allows vendors to create and manage customer records. Each customer record includes several fields that uniquely identify the customer and the application, specify the customer's assigned release channel, and define the customer's entitlements. 
+
+Vendors can use these licensing features to enforce entitlements such as license expiration dates, and to track and report on software usage for the prupose of surfacing insights to both internal teams and customers.
