Include your customer information, including a brief description of why IDL is important in your daily research (just for some context). Also, most importantly, include your specific license requirements, such as "I need to run 12 full IDL processes simultaneously, and it's only for me on my one machine", or "I need to run 1-2 IDL sessions on both my Mac and Windows machines, and I don't want to activate/deactivate."

Is this true? Distributing code for use with the VM is a fundamental part of the IDL model. If Harris were to change this, I hope they would at least let the userbase know.
