Overview

The OEM licensing scheme restricts access to IDOL by applying ACI encryption to all requests, so that only the OEM application, which knows the encryption keys, can communicate with IDOL. This enables Micro Focus to provide a single license with no host or port restrictions that the OEM can distribute with all copies of their software. Even though the OEM license can be used to start IDOL on any machine, end users (customers of the OEM) cannot abuse this license because they do not have the encryption keys required to communicate with IDOL.
