=== Known Issues ===

The following known issues are associated with this PIM:

*Because FNT Command manages state in flash server, multiple FNT Command channels cannot be added in the same view.

=== License Usage ===

In order for the AppBoard/enPortal administrator to configure the fnt.command_pimC PIM, the AppBoard/enPortal license.properties file must include licensing for at least one fnt.command_pimC server.  The administrator can create one additional host ("target") in AppBoard/enPortal for each server license included in the license file.

Each AppBoard/enPortal user maintains one user session with the FNT Command server.  The FNT Command application must be licensed to support the number of users that will be accessing the application through AppBoard/enPortal.
