Abstract: Embodiments described herein are generally related to systems and methods for providing access to software products or services in a cloud computing or other computing environment. Dynamic rate card management allows organizations to optimize the number of rate cards to a manageable level wherein, for example, rate cards can be associated with the type of contract policy. In accordance with an embodiment, in order to accommodate the use of dynamic rate cards, a migration service or process can be used to convert/migrate subscriptions that were originally created under a first, legacy or former subscription pricing model, to conform instead with a subscription pricing service model, for use with the various systems, methods, and features described herein.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide tiered assessment of use of services in a cloud environment. An operator cloud environment running on computers including microprocessors, wherein the operator cloud environment is deployed within a first realm owned by an operator tenant of the realm, a set of software products provided to the first realm from a cloud infrastructure provider of the cloud environment for access via the first realm by a plurality of end users as vendor cloud services, and a metering service. Usage data that records usage of services in a realm includes identification data associating user entities with their usage of the services is provided to the operator tenant associated with control of the realm. A second set of data is generated by processing the usage data to remove or convert the identification data and is provided to the cloud infrastructure provider associated with control of the cloud environment.
