Adding licenses for software features that a customer buys later than the initial purchase of a license can be easily accomplished by using multiple additive licenses, which don’t require that you change the original license. To prepare an additive license, you need to create a feature with the same name as the original license, set the proper version and count numbers, and add the line <SETTING KEYTYPE=”ADDITIVE”> to the XML license template file.

By default, all network licenses are exclusive, which means that they are taken into account first. During checkout, additive licenses are seen as a separate license pool of the same feature. You should ensure all needed features are checked out at one time, because a client cannot check out licenses from two different license pools.

For more details on additive licenses, see the "KEYTYPE" section in the LM-X Developers Manual.
