Could NLS be used with products such as GMR and 3D GMR, where the
only difference between a development license and a runtime license
is whether or not you have the necessary insert files? I can understand
how an executable program (like a compiler) could simply refuse to
execute if the NLS server has not passed it a valid key, but how would
you prevent someone from reading the insert files? You could put a lock
in the runtime libraries, but this would lock up the runtime licenses
(which apperently are bundled with the machine) as well as the
development licenses. Is there a way around this?
