Abstract
This description provides tools for providing integrated user experiences while allocating licenses within volume licensing systems. These tools may provide methods that include sending information for presenting licensing portals at recipient organizations. The licensing portals may include representations of properties licensed by the organizations, and may include indications of how many licenses remain available for allocation. The methods may include receiving and validating licensing requests. The tools may provide other methods that include requesting and receiving information for presenting the licensing portals, as well as requesting and receiving licensing-related actions from the licensing systems. The tools may provide still other methods that include receiving requests for information to present launch portals, with these requests incorporating user identifiers for particular end-users. These methods may also populate the launch portals with representations of properties for which the end-users are licensed, and may send the information for the launch portals to licensee organizations.
