New: New licensing scheme

The new licensing scheme uses a credits based approach that controls how many devices can be discovered. Depending on the operating system and the device type, a device consumes a variable amount of the available credits. The new licensing scheme is more flexible and cost-effective than the old edition-based licensing scheme. This is because the  price per devices is no longer mandated by the edition, but the operating system and the device type.
