A YANG Module for Entitlement Inventory

This document defines a YANG data model for managing software-based entitlements (licenses, authorization tokens, pay-as-you-go service credentials…) within a network inventory. The model represents the relationship between organizational entitlements, network element capabilities, and the constraints that entitlements impose on capability usage. This data model enables operators to determine what capabilities their network elements possess, which capabilities are currently entitled for use, and what restrictions apply. The model supports both centralized entitlement management and device-local entitlement tracking for physical and virtual network elements.
