Starting with Release 4.2, AE Services supports enterprise-wide licensing. With enterprise-wide licensing, AE Services customers are able to purchase any number of licenses and then allocate those licenses to various AE Services at their own discretion. This means that AE Services customers are able to pool or share all AE Services features and Rights To Use (RTU) among AE Services. This applies only to AE Services features licensed in the AE Services license file and not those licensed in the Communication Manager license file.
