Ask HN: How to restrict access to SaaS by seat?

1 pointp0d4 comments

I want to sell my Saas product to schools. Has anyone conquered how to limit access to their saas product per seat?

Limiting by IP address doesn't seem robust. Neither do I want to rely on someone else's AD.

Any thoughts appreciated?

Difficult to answer without details, potentially the app does have natural points to limit scope of use.

If it's a major issue, per-seat licensing could also be just the wrong license model.

Count active auth tokens?

How would that stop another school using the same credentials?

2 active tokens per identity = suspicious activity?
