  • Patent number: 9639345
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided in order to provide a framework for selective enablement of application features. An example of the method includes receiving, via an electronic communications interface, client credential information indicating at least one user or client facility, executing a first instance of an application by a processor, the first instance of the application comprising at least one feature selectively enabled or disabled by the framework, determining, during execution of the first instance of the application, a feature identifier associated with the at least one feature, retrieving feature information from a client feature table using at least the client credential information, determining whether the at least one feature is enabled for the at least one user or client facility, and, in response to determining that the at least one feature is enabled for the at least one user or client facility, executing the at least one feature.
