# License Introduction

Licenses for controller features are managed through the Functionality Management System (FMS). This allows customers to tailor controller functions to their specific needs through a dynamic licensing scheme.

Licenses can be obtained for individual features or collections of features and can be deployed across multiple virtual stations. The licenses can be returned to the pool when they are no longer required. Licenses can be obtained through the Atlas Copco License Portal (ACLP). Licenses can be downloaded from the ACLP and managed/distributed through ToolsTalk, or can be stored on a FMS Portable (USB drive) to be inserted into the controller.

Note that the creation and management of a customer account in the ACLP is not covered in this documentation. Contact your local Atlas Copco representative for more information.
