What types of applications cannot be license-enabled with Orion?
- Applications that are implemented in programming languages that cannot call out to Java or C/C++, as well as C/C++ applications for platforms that we don’t support or for which a custom port of the Orion client library is not an option (for example a 16-bit platform). See for our list of supported programming languages and platforms.
- Mobile applications that are standalone or for which complex device-level standalone licensing is required. Note, however, that cloud-based mobile applications can be license-enabled through the cloud server.
- Third party applications for which you do not own intellectual property rights to the source code for integration purposes. In particular, binary applications for which source code is unavailability cannot be license enabled with Orion. Provided you have the rights to distribute the binaries, you can build an “application launcher” wrapper application that you integrate with Orion; however, the licensing will not be secure.
- Passive document content, or active document content that cannot call out to one of the available Orion client libraries. You can license enable Microsoft Office documents via VBA macros.
