[oXygen-user] Detecting the oXygen license type

[Michael Anthony Smith]

Radu,

Thanks for the prompt response.

Currently we would be interested in determining whether the license was:
(a) Academic, Professional, or Enterprise;
(b) Named-User, Floating or Site.

In the case of a Floating license it would be useful to know whether the 
current oXygen instance is active, because we could then prevent our 
plugin from working (i.e., generating a new editor document, using your 
new createNewEditor facility).

Our plugin currently does not need to distinguish between the Author and 
Editor version of your product, but you may wish to provide this 
information for future use.

Finally, we are not concerned about whether the product is being used in 
an evaluation period or the expiry dates of oXygen licenses.

Regards,

Anthony.
