A license is tied to a provider account. This is where the license start and end period can be entered. These dates will be the primary start/end dates to the permits associated to the provider.
A provider can hold multiple permits. A permit must be issued if the provider is choosing to deploy devices in a different geographic area. If they decide to change the amount of devices and/or the geographic area a new permit must be issued.
Ex. 100 devices in DAPCZ
the provider DOESN'T want to change the location or number of devices, than this permit can be renewed.
the provider DOES want to change either the location or the number of devices, a new permit needs to be created
Provider wants to add 50 more units to a geographic area - 150 in DAPCZ
Provider wants to deploy 100 units in new zone, Zone 1 - 100 in Zone 1
