Devices may be grouped into teams by a team identifier configured for each device. Within the team, one device may be selected as a control device for handling requests made to the team. A team address is assigned to the team for directing communications from the client. The control device parses messages addressed to the team address and forwards requests to slave devices in the team. The control device may perform load balancing of the slave devices when directed messages to the slave devices. Device teams may be used to assign dynamic licenses to the clients.
