Every feature ships in the same engine image, so there is nothing extra to install. The
tables below group them by the job you are doing. In Free or license, Free means every
install runs it with no license key, and a name such as search means your license has to
carry that feature. Some free features have a paid part, named in the same cell.
Where in the console is the path through the admin console's sidebar. An entry shows only
while its feature runs for your tenant, and many show only to a super admin. "None" means the
feature works through the API and settings alone. A route of a feature that is not running
answers 404. To choose which features start, and to apply a license, see
Licensing and tiers. Prices are at
lyeve.com/pricing.
