The information that allows for the unlocking of an Option should be protected from the user. The user should not be able to use an Option license to unlock another Option.

A license seat must be checked out in order for an Option function to be accessible to the user; however, to compile, or load the functions in PV‑WAVE, a license seat is not necessary. In that sense, checking out seats is independent from the loading for an Option.

The name of the Option as specified in the LOAD_OPTION PV‑WAVE command is used as the license feature name of the Option, and must match the feature name of the Option in the license file.
