What are the licenses that exist for UCS Director and what are they for?

These tables list the available licenses, and their use case.

Please note it is important to make a distinction between the Product ID (PID) you order, and the feature shown inside the license file. E.g. ordering a CUIC-SP-BASE-K9 license and activating the resulting PAK results in a CUIC-BASE-K9 license.
