Inter-operability Testing

John identified several questions that need answers with respect to the version pragma.

1. Is the version value a real number, an integer number, or a string.
2. Where should the version keyword be permitted to appear.
3. Where in the decryption envelope should the version keyword appear.

Dave asked about potential conflict between versioned semantics that require secured definition, and requirements to expose that for extracting secured information.

License Management

Michael reviewed his progress on license management. He has seen requests for support of counted license management, which we considered previously and decided to avoid because of complexity. Michael is inclined to support the capability with appropriate cautions regarding the overhead.

Michael has also recieved feedback resisting an exclusive server-based interface, and suggesting support for DLL interfaces as well. John asked if there was feedback from the IP producer community regarding expectations for licensing support.
