About Symphony Licenses

Use Symphony licenses to incorporate one or more modules into your Symphony environment. This article discusses licensing for the Managed Dashboards and Managed Reports modules and the VisualData Discovery module.

Managed Dashboards and Managed Reports

Managed Dashboards and Managed Reports licenses grant your organization a number of license seats. These licenses license your use of the software, and enables users to log on and use your environment.

Optional features such as SaaS / Multi-Tenancy require licenses as well. Licensed additional features only appear in your software application if enabled through use of a license.
