Accounts Overview
If you sign up for a BCWM application account, you become the owner of the account. Under the umbrella
of that account, you can set up multiple license accounts. The application provides one default license
account under which all locations, licenses, and collaborators are placed. If you set up additional license
accounts, you can specify the locations for each account, add licenses to each account, and invite managers
and customers for each account.

If you manage a tenant account (that is, an account for a single business or organization), a single license
account might be sufficient even if you set up multiple locations for that business or organization, or various
conditions might require you set up multiple license accounts. Consider the example in which you manage
the WiFi networks for a hotel chain with multiple locations in various countries:

Licenses Overview
A license consists of credits. Each access point that the application manages requires one credit per day.
That is, each credit provides one access point with one day of cloud usage.
That is, each credit provides one access point with one day of cloud usage.
After all credits are used up, the licence must be renewed for you to continue to use the application.
For example, if you purchased 3 licenses for 10 access points for 3 years (resulting in a credit balance of
10,950 credits) and the application manages 24 access points per day, you must renew your licenses after
438 days. Another example: If you purchased 12 licenses for 1 access point for 1 year (resulting in a credit
balance of 4,380 credits) and the application manages 6 access points per day, you must renew your licenses
after 2 years (730 days).
