Can anyone tell me what is the difference between the Cost Accounting I, II, III, and IV functionality?

I need specifics I found a general description on line but frankly based on information provided I cannot figure out what is technically different.  For example it says cost rates are available in Cost Accounting III. However I setup and environment with just Cost Accounting I licensed and I have access to use cost rates.

Cost Accounting I

·          Flexible mapping of cost accounts into cost categories

·          Dimensions set-up for cost accounting

·          Service categories for quantities management, (integrated with Production in Microsoft Dynamics AX and Project in Microsoft Dynamics AX )

·          Flexible reporting system featuring multiple line definitions and structural hierarchies

·          Integrated cost accounting journals for booking internal cost accounting transactions on cost amounts or quantities

·          Flexible and versatile allocation and distribution capability, including multiple parallel calculation versions

·          Specific budgeting and forecasting capability, linked to ledger budget

 
Cost Accounting II

·          Open dimensions enabling allocation via debit/credit from one dimension type value to another.

·          This module requires Cost Accounting I

Cost Accounting III

·          Internal cost allocation enables to apportion costs via cost rate.

·          This module requires Cost Accounting I and Cost Accounting II

Cost Accounting IV

·          Extended cost accounting budget and forecasts features

·          Flexible cost calculation capability allows cost planning of based on capacity usage, and measures deviation of the target cost according to actual capacity usage and actual costs
