  • Patent number: 10521795
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed towards systems and methods for using a software as a service (“SaaS”) product. The systems and methods request, in response to receiving a request to purchase a software as a service product, a user identifier. Additionally, in response to receiving the user identifier, the systems and methods enable a completed purchase of the SaaS product with a provisional account associated with the user identifier. Furthermore, the systems and methods prevent use of the software as a service product through the provisional account and, in response to a completed purchase of the software as a service product, request a creation of a user credential. Upon receiving the user credential, the systems and methods convert the provisional account into a permanent account associated with the user identifier and user credential and enable use of the SaaS product through the permanent account.
