Hello Ben,

The license files are only included in the "protected area" of Passport
Advantage.
The "open" FTP area contains software without the licenses. Except for the
BA client.

@Andy,
It would help a lot if -only- the license pack was available at Passport
Advantage.
Now we need to download over 2GB of software for only a few kB's code.
Especially if you have a slow connection to the customers network, you have
double pain in case of installs.

Regards,
Maurice van 't Loo
