5 BCM Crediting & Transfer of Feature Entitlements – Description
This feature allows customers to move software feature entitlements from one BCM system to another BCM system within a group of BCM’s owned by a given end customer. For end customers, this provides flexibility in the deployment of BCM software features and allows customers to manage their investment in BCM software to best meet their changing needs. The transfer of feature entitlements is not done directly from one system to another – instead it is done through the use of a feature entitlement inventory pool, registered to the ownership of the end- customer, and used as an intermediate repository for the feature entitlements that were credited (or removed) from any given system owned by that customer.

6 BCM Customer Feature Entitlement Pool –
