Systems and methods for monetizing building management system software deployment
A system for monetizing deployment of building management software configured to operate an HVAC device includes one or more processors coupled to non-transitory memory. The one or more processors are configured to create a service task for a field technician including information identifying the building management software to be installed on an end device. The one or more processors are further configured to generate a unique product key and attach the unique product key to the service task, transmit the service task to a field technician platform configured to be accessed by the field technician, validate bound data received from the field technician platform, the bound data comprising end device fingerprint information and the unique product key. The one or more processors are further configured to generate a license file configured to complete installation of the building management software.
1. A system for monetizing deployment of building management software that operates an HVAC device, the system comprising:
one or more processors coupled to non-transitory memory, wherein the one or more processors:
create a service task for a field technician including information identifying the building management software to be installed on an end device;
generate a unique product key and attach the unique product key to the service task;
transmit the service task to a field technician platform that is accessed by the field technician;
validate bound data received from the field technician platform, the bound data comprising end device fingerprint information and the unique product key;
generate a license file that completes installation of the building management software; and
receive an installation completion code from the field technician platform.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the installation completion code is an alphanumeric code.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the installation completion code is captured by the field technician platform as a quick response (QR) code.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the unique product key is an alphanumeric code.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the end device fingerprint information comprises at least one of a software product stock keeping unit (SKU), an end device identification number, a customer identification number, and a service task ticket number.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the end device fingerprint information is captured by the field technician platform as a QR code.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the bound data further comprises a location of the end device captured by the field technician platform via global positioning system (GPS).
8. A method for monetizing deployment of building management software that operates an HVAC device, the method comprising:
creating a service task for a field technician including information identifying the building management software to be installed on an end device;
generating a unique product key and attaching the unique product key to the service task;
transmitting the service task to a field technician platform that is accessed by the field technician;
validating bound data received from the field technician platform, the bound data comprising end device fingerprint information and the unique product key;
generating a license file that completes installation of the building management software; and
receiving an installation completion code from the field technician platform.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the installation completion code is an alphanumeric code.
10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the installation completion code is captured by the field technician platform as a quick response (QR) code.
11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the unique product key is an alphanumeric code.
12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the end device fingerprint information comprises at least one of a software product stock keeping unit (SKU), an end device identification number, a customer identification number, and a service task ticket number.
13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the end device fingerprint information is captured by the field technician platform as a QR code.
14. The method of claim 8 , wherein the bound data further comprises a location of the end device captured by the field technician platform via global positioning system (GPS).
15. A method for monetizing software deployment, the method comprising:
creating a service task for a field technician, the service task comprising an installation date and time;
generating a unique product key and attaching the unique product key to the service task;
transmitting the service task to a field technician platform that is accessed by the field technician;
validating bound data received from the field technician platform, the bound data comprising end device fingerprint information and the unique product key;
generating a license file that completes installation of the software; and
receiving an installation completion code from the field technician platform.
16. The method of claim 15 , wherein validating the bound data received from the field technician platform further comprises determining whether the bound data was received after an expiration period of the unique product key.
17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the expiration period of the unique product key is determined at least in part by the installation date and time.
18. The method of claim 16 , wherein the end device fingerprint information is captured by the field technician platform as a quick response (QR) code.
