To perhaps open up a whole can of worms:
Are there any runtime (multiuser or otherwise) license issues with using the sockets tools as there are with the oengine.exe?
What implementation did you envisage that would create the need for licensing around socket use within the product?
Just checking to see if there are *any* before designing and or implementing applications.
I would hate to deploy an application and find that it is in violation of the runtime license.
