Q-points usage

Q-points are points that are used when flows are executed. These points are later used to control the usage of Qflow Cloud licenses.

All flow steps have an assigned number of Q-points that are used when the step is executed. There are steps (service task and script task) that require an extra effort for the tool to execute them. These steps, aside from the initial usage, also have an assigned number of Q-points per second that will be used while the step is being executed.
