How do I enable features or editions per customer?
Question
I have lite, pro and enterprise editions, plus some add-ons. How do I license them?
Answer
If editions and add-ons are sold one by one, use Multi-Feature. Each FEATURE license template is one feature or edition with its own price, and validation returns every feature you’ve configured as valid=true or false, keyed by the license template number.
If features come bundled in plans, use Pricing Table. Each plan has its own features (SKUs), price and billing interval, and validation tells you which plan the customer is on and what’s included.
Either way, your application looks up the feature it cares about, Emf-pro for instance, and shows or hides the functionality. You can also hand out a feature for free, by adding the license through the API or by marking its template automatic.
