Companies purchase a set of tokens which allow users to run a wide array of applications. Tokens are available to purchase in annual subscription packs which make add-on products available as a single, sharable bundle. Tokens can be checked in and checked out to allow for maximum flexibility. Each add-on product consumes a defined number of tokens when in use.
