section 7.2.7Licensing requirements:

After review with licensing stakeholders, the agreed changes are in red:

ONAP can support external licensing management solution. For example, a vendor-specific solution where the VNF or PNF obtains its licenses from an external source and ONAP licensing management solution is not used. If the licensing management solution is provided by ONAP, then the ONAP operators will build the VNF License using SDC during onboarding. Refer to the ONAP User Guide for details. The operators require certain information regarding VNF licenses. This information currently is delivered out of band. HEAT or TOSCA VNF packages may support such information in future. VNF licensing behavior also has some constraints.s
