Software Packages − Key Features
Jupiter software is available in several software (SW) packages. One of these packages is normally activated by the end user

individual features can also be activated during installation or at a later time by using an appropriate key code.
The key features of these packages are summarized in the following table. Please keep the differences between packages in
mind when you refer to the instructions in this manual.
