@Pascale Ici, je ne pense pas, ca cloche avec la partie 'additional storage'...

De plus, je ne trouve que sidefx utilisant ce terme comme cela, je soupconne qu'ils utilisent en fait 'redeem a license' pour 'redeem a license [code]'.

Unclear It is hard to say without more context, but I'd say almost certainly not 'racheter'. I suspect (though need context to be sure) that it means 'hand over something in exchange for something' — as you do when you redeem a gift voucher by using it to buy something.

So it seems to me that perhaps they have already paid for a whole load of licences, and they are now seeking to use one of these licences to activate a particular product / feature.

je ne vois personnellement pas autre chose ici...

exercer un titre pour obtenir une licence

D'après la définition :

An entitlement is a "voucher" for a license(s) that you are entitled to install on any of your machines. An entitlement may be for a new license, or an extension/upgrade/increment to an existing installed license.

Cela ressemble à l'exercice d'une option pour vendre des actions dans le monde de la finance.

échanger

This is a translation suggested by R+C dictionary in the commercial context, which is the one I assume applies here.

It seems likely to me that they have pre-bought 'licences' entitling them to so much extra storgae space as necessary, and each time they want to implement extra storage, they simply use one of their pre-bought licences to obtain the code to unlock the storage. All a bit like Luncheon Vouchers!

Thanks
Peer comment(s):

neutral Cyril B. : I doubt the users have to give in their software licenses to get some additional storage space.... It's much more likely that each software license they own entitles them to some additional storage space - It's a sentence, not just an isolated word...

I don't think we should over-interpret, we must remain firmly based on the meaning of the source term, which is clear and unequivocal.
