What are Feature Sets and how do they work?

Feature Sets add advanced capabilities to your compatible players. They are activated on a player-by-player basis and come in three levels: WIDGETS, KIOSK, and SYSTEMS. 

Feature Sets can be managed in two different ways:

Feature Set Subscriptions

A Feature Set subscription activates a dedicated set of features for a compatible player within a SpinetiX HUB account. Out of SpinetiX HUB > ASSETS, users can assign or unassign available Feature Sets to players as needed. This allows flexible allocation and management of features across the network.

For example, let's imagine you have:

• A data-driven content application for five hallway displays, requiring 5 players with the Widgets Feature Set.
• An interactive touchscreen application for two displays in the waiting area, requiring 2 players with the Kiosk Feature Set.
• A custom-size LED wall application in the lobby, requiring 1 player with the Systems Feature Set.

To support these applications, you would need the following Feature Set subscriptions:

• WIDGETS with a capacity of 5
   
• KIOSK with a capacity of 2
   
• SYSTEMS with a capacity of 1
   

Feature Set Licenses 

Unlike a Feature Set subscription, a Feature Set license is permanently tied to a specific player and cannot be reassigned.

Once purchased, a Feature Set license belongs to the customer indefinitely with no recurring subscription required.

Permanent Feature Set licenses are a good choice for applications that benefit from a one-time purchase or have specific operational requirements. For example, they are well suited for deployments that require offline operation or for customers who prefer to avoid subscription-based licensing.
