I am evaluating 7.6 and conducting quite a few 'trying', just realize I see

Jira Software is an application that is installed on top of Jira Core.

You can do three things here:

* Get Core licences.  The users with these will only be able to use Jira functions (you might as well uninstall Software)
* Get Software licences.  Users with these will have full access to Jira functions and be able to use all the Software features too
* Get a set of both.  Everyone will have access to Jira functions, but those who take up the software licences will be able to use Software too.
