License question for MIP Driver Metadata Device Channels

Hi. In our MIP plugin we use the MIP Driver to create Metadata devices. With the new licensing model that charges per channel, will this mean that every channel for a Metadata device should be licensed?

No. The licensing model charges per video channel basically. But if you have metadata device(or input/output etc) without video channels, it charges 1 license. Let me bring a few example -

A device has 2 video channels and 4 metadata channels; this means two licenses.

A device has 2 metadata channels but no video channel; this means one license.
