# License Introduction

Licenses for controller features are managed through the Functionality Management System (FMS). FMS allows users to change 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 a license 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.

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.
