An installation key is a string such as mg.5i1542vixa7ptl9qocsev4zico5tzgqpzqnfc.

A Must licence is usually programmed with distinct solutions.

Licence tokens provide access to the particular solution.
 
A Must licence can also be programmed with value packs.
A value pack is a set of HOPEX Solution used as a whole.
Licence tokens provide access to all the solutions of the value pack.
