Feature groups represent a set of the features of the softwarethe VNFs. Feature groups may be defined by the vendor and/or by the service provider. Software VNFs may be related to multiple feature groups.  At least one feature group will be related to softwarea VNF. If no sub-sets are needed, a single feature group will be defined that represents the base or core capabilities of the softwareVNF.

If an Entitlement Pool or License Key Group is associated with a particular Feature Group, the Feature Group becomes a "constraint" for the pool/group.

...

A License Key Group is created for each type of License Key that is required for the softwareVNF.   Each License Key Group is assigned a Name and Description for modeling purposes and is uniquely identified by a UUID. In addition, a list of characteristics of the License Key Group are defined.

...

Controllers will request license keys from Asset Inventory using the UUID of the group, as directed by the SDC models for the software (i.e. VFs)VNFs.

A license key group is not specific to a feature group.  A license key group may be related to multiple feature groups of containing a software item or VNF or even to multiple software itemsVNFs .
