A system to assist a user in using a software application, comprising:

• a processor;
• memory storing instructions when executed by the processor comprising functionalities to:
• display, in a user interface window of the software application, a first group of navigation tabs corresponding to an active set of features of the software application and a second group of navigation tabs corresponding to an inactive set of features of the software application,
• wherein the first group is disposed at a first location within the user interface window and the second group is disposed at a second location within the user interface window, separate from the first location, and
• wherein the user is authorized to access the active set of features based on a user license and unauthorized to access the inactive set of features based on the user license;
• receive a notification regarding a modification of the user license, wherein the user is authorized to access an activated feature of the inactive set of features based on the modification;
• and
• modify the user interface window to relocate a navigation tab of the second group of navigation tabs corresponding to the activated feature from the second location to the first location;
• and
• a license server coupled to the processor and configured to manage the user license, wherein the license server is further configured to:
• process the modification of the user license based on a purchase by the user that activates an inactive feature in the inactive set of features into the activated feature;
• and
• send the notification to the processor.

• wherein the first group is disposed at a first location within the user interface window and the second group is disposed at a second location within the user interface window, separate from the first location, and
• wherein the user is authorized to access the active set of features based on a user license and unauthorized to access the inactive set of features based on the user license;
• receive a notification regarding a modification of the user license, wherein the user is authorized to access an activated feature of the inactive set of features based on the modification;
• and
• modify the user interface window to relocate a navigation tab of the second group of navigation tabs corresponding to the activated feature from the second location to the first location, wherein the modification of the user license is based on a purchase by the user that activates an inactive feature in the inactive set of features into the activated feature.
