If modifying the esl is in violation of the license agreement, then how can the product be sold without getting into legal trouble with MS or is MS just ignoring this issue since the product is no longer supported?


>>Thanks for the links but in my circumstance, the original source code doesn't exist and so a coded solution won't work. About the only way that I see to handle this is via a 3rd party product that patches the esl. Are there other products on the market that perform this?
