Assigning subscriptions to nodes

Lighthouse has a flexible, simplified subscription model that allows users to mix and match functionality where required. Users can reassign nodes to different subscriptions in order to optimize Automation Edition features on their network. For example, if the user:

  • Previously had two license tiers, but only paid to renew one license tier

  • Purchased an Automation Edition license for the first time, and wants the extra functionality on some of their nodes

  • Wants to swap which nodes have access to the extra functionality available in an Automation Edition license
