Token-based licenses are always unlimited; therefore, sharing tokens is unnecessary. However, you can share tokens to enable sharing their dependenciessharing token dependencies may be useful in some cases.

Multiple instances of each feature can be shared on a single host. With token sharing, all instances of the particular feature share licenses, but separately (the instances of each feature can share licenses only amongst themselves, but not between the different features).

Token dependency sharing allows the features and their instances to share their available licenses and thereby use the licenses more efficiently in cases where you do not want to count features' licenses independently. Dependency sharing can be implemented using multiple token-based licenses that share a common dependency.
