@: You can have a region using another region’s licenses via an intranet or internet connection.
e.g. Region#4 clients connect to Region#5-Server2. (You may need to increase the total license capacity for clients connected to Region#5-Server2)
^: The client cannot work alone. Therefore, a server is required.
&: All licenses are based on the total number of clients, not the server. However, without clients, the server will be meaningless.
?: A standalone license includes 1 Server and 1 Client. (AKA Self-Served Setup)
