A software license is granted to a particular computer to allow certain software components to run. For instance, Live Analysis might be enabled on a client computer. A user capability is a right that is granted to a user (login) to perform certain task within the software. For instance, if a user is not granted Live Analysis access, he is not able to view live video feeds, even if that computer has that capability. Conversely, if a user does have Live Analysis capability, he can not view live video on a computer that is not licensed for Live Analysis.
