Feature Entitlements
Certain features of ICONICS Suite are enabled or changed based on entitlements. When you purchase a license for a product, you will be given the proper feature entitlements to use that product.
It is usually not necessary to check over the list of feature entitlements in detail, however the tables below describe the different entitlements you might use and where you can find them in the license viewer.
Some entitlements appear on more than one tab of the license viewer.
How Feature Entitlements are Counted
Per Windows or Browser Session
Unless otherwise mentioned, feature entitlements are counted per Windows session or browser session. For example, one AlarmWorX64 client station entitlement will allow any number of AlarmWorX64 Viewers to be run in a single Windows session, but if Remote Desktop is used to create two or more Windows sessions, each session will require an additional AlarmWorX64 client station entitlement if it uses an AlarmWorX64 Viewer.
On-Off Entitlement
Some entitlements are either enabled or disabled for all clients. They are not counted per session.
These will either have a value of 1 or 0 for their in use and total values in the license viewer. A total value of 1 gives any client or server using this license the ability to use this entitlement. An in use value of 1 means there is at least one client or server using this entitlement.
Per Enabled Report or Transaction
The BridgeWorX64 Transactions and ReportWorX64 Reports entitlements count the number of enabled transactions or reports in the configuration.

Client entitlements determines whether a client can run at all, but the client feature entitlements listed below determine what features a client can use, once it has connected to FrameWorX.
