What is Feature?

A feature is a distinct functionality or capability a software product provides to fulfill user needs. Features define what the software can do and how it benefits the user.

Built-in features

  • Concurrent User Limit: Restricts how many users can access your software (website or app) at the same time (simultaneously).

For example, the BoostPTE brand allows installation on two devices, but only one can be active simultaneously.

⇒ 1 device means one user

  • Per-User Licensing: Licenses software based on individual users rather than devices.

For example, MyPhoneApp allows one user to install the app on multiple devices (iOS and Android).

⇒ Users can use (install) with n devices. This is the maximum number of devices allowed.

The maximum number of devices allowed

The maximum number of devices allowed for a software license depends on the specific software and its licensing terms. Here are some common examples:

  • Microsoft 365: Typically allows installation on up to 5 devices per user (PCs, Macs, tablets, and phones) under a personal or family plan.

  • Adobe Creative Cloud allows installation on two devices, but you can only use it on one at a time.

  • Netflix: The number of devices that can stream simultaneously depends on the plan (e.g., Standard = 2 devices, Premium = 4 devices).

  • Google Workspace: No strict device limit, but it depends on the security policies set by the administrator.

  • Antivirus Software (Norton, McAfee, Kaspersky, etc.): Antivirus software usually allows 3 to 10 devices per license, depending on the plan.

  • Windows License (OEM & Retail): A Retail license can be transferred to another device, but an OEM license is tied to one device.
