    Hi Nikolai,
    As far as i can tell, we have purchased the full version. And we have the
    same code that we use with both the trial version and the full version. How
    do i get the OEM version of XEP?

    Raj,

    We have a special OEM edition (available only to OEM
    customers upon specific request to sales dept) that can
    be activated by two licenses: it operates as Trial when
    a trial license is supplied, and switches to unstamped
    mode when presented a special unlocking license.
    However, this edition is meant for environments
    where XEP is incorporated into applications that
    share the same code for trial and full versions: the user
    tries the application in stamped mode, and receives
    the unlocking license upon purchase of a full version.

    Yours seem to be a different situation. If I understand
    it correctly, you don't need to switch XEP operation mode
    in applications installed at your customers' sites. In this
    case, it is recommended to seek a solution within
    the current licensing scheme.

    Sorry, I don't understand that. In any case, you will have
    to include a different license in your build; having a different
    JAR file does not seem to complicate things too much.
    After all, you can simply rename XEP's JARs to some
    uniform names before you start building process,
    by running a single-line script.

    Let me express my personal opinion as a SW developer,
    and not as a RenderX employee: the solution consists
    in adopting a better build system, not in simplifying the
    components to match the capabilities of your current one.
