The licensing corpus describes MAS AppPoints as a shared-pool model with authorized and concurrent usage, role tiers, reserved points, add-on/install points, SaaS overage exposure, and customer-managed activation/lockout constraints.
Smaller customers may not have the usage data or licensing expertise needed to forecast points accurately, creating an opportunity for practical AppPoints education and sizing support.
