The existing licensing approach strictly limits the number of modules that can be used at the same time.
This discourages users from building functionality distributed over multiple modules, even if those modules just contain locally executed logic. The new licensing scheme only counts “advanced” modules, allowing users more freedom in how they construct their project (i.e. unlimited numbers of non-advanced modules). The basic criterion for whether a module is advanced is whether it has a connection to the outside world, for example via a network protocol. This is shown in the module by an LED-like indicator in the title bar.
Most of our current advanced modules, such as the tracking modules, use network connections so they are automatically counted for purposes of licensing. In addition, we will reserve the right to declare functionally more advanced modules (dashboards or user management tools) as being relevant to the licensing count.
