Entitlement terminology and package descriptions

A subscription that grants a customer the right to use a specific product package for a certain quantity of seats over a period of time. They may have multiple entitlements at once, even for the same package (for example, when expanding the workforce to handle seasonal needs).

A seat given by a manager or administrator to a specific person to allow that person to gain access to features and services. People may be assigned licenses to one or more packages. Licenses are the primary means by which access to features and services of the products in a package is enforced.
