Feature keys

[Jessi Patterson]

Can someone please explain what feature keys are? I cannot seem to find any info on this topic except on how to install them. I am curious to know what they are and what they are used for. 

Thank you.

It's how they license the product. You could buy them Ala cart back in the day.
