To increase the business flow efficiencies, the seven-mode licensing infrastructure was
modified to handle features that are included in a more bundled or packaged manner.
You do not need to add license keys on your system for most features that are distributed at
no additional fee. For some platforms, features in a software bundle require only one license
key. Other features are enabled when you add certain other software bundle keys.
