# Device Pro License Overview
Other Languages: [日本語](https://docs.engenius.ai/engenius-cloud-licensing-jp/)
### **Start with essential features and upgrade with Pro licenses.**
EnGenius Cloud provides two types of feature plans, ***Basic and PRO***. You need to set up the feature plan to either Basic or PRO for product categories.
The ***Basic*** feature plan comes with essential cloud features for free, and the ***PRO*** plan requires a Pro license to enable managed devices with professional features.
* Users can choose any feature plan combination for different device categories. For example, you only need basic management features of Switches but require professional features of Access Points.
* Each device category will follow its Feature Plan(***Basic** or **PRO***) to keep the logs and capacity of advanced features accordingly.
{% hint style="info" %}
**Note.**\
1\. The **Camera** category does **NOT** follow Basic or PRO Feature Plans, allowing **more flexible deployment** and **unified management.** This is because a camera’s viewing and storage requirements vary depending on where it is installed. Within the same organization and network, both **valid PRO-licensed** and **unlicensed cameras** can be managed together. The key difference is that **PRO-licensed cameras** provide **extended durations for Remote Viewing Time, Object Search Period, Statistic Data Retention, and Log Retention**.
2\. The **Switch Extender** category **always** operates under the **PRO** Feature Plan.
{% endhint %}
* **System features of Organization-wide or network-wide level**
* Features, such as *Team Members, Maximum Networks per Organization, Clone Network, Client List Export, Scheduled Reports*, etc., will remain available under the **PRO plan** as long as at least one PRO feature plan is enabled in **any** of the AP, Switch, or Gateway categories.
* **Cloud RADIUS and Voucher Service**\
Both **Cloud RADIUS** and **Voucher Service** remain **PRO plan** when at least one PRO feature plan is enabled on **any AP or Gateway**.
* **Topology**\
**Topology** for both EnGenius and third-party devices remains a **PRO plan** as long as a PRO feature plan is enabled **on Switch**.

{% endhint %}
* Users can change the feature plan between ***Basic** and **PRO*** anytime.
{% hint style="info" %}
When a device category is switched from ***PRO** to **Basic***, all privileges that exceed the limit of the ***Basic*** plan will be erased and all professional features related will be disabled.

### Simple and straightforward management of Per-device licensing
* Each license can only be associated with one device *(Device A)*
* A Device can have multiple licenses associated with it to extend the expired date *(Device B)*
* Devices might have different license expired dates based on the valid duration you associated with it. *(Device A, B)*
* All devices, except cameras, of the same category within the **Organization** must follow the same Feature Plan *(Basic/ PRO)*

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://doc.engenius.ai/cloud-licensing/device-pro-license-overview.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
