  6.1.1 Meta objects
  Brief descriptions of these meta objects are given below. More
  detailed descriptions are available in the SysWorks Model
  Reference .

  A product is a set of software purchased from a supplier
  and installed on a computer. For software created or mod-
  ified for specific purposes, an application is used. See the
  SysWorks Application Development Guide for details about
  how to develop applications.

  A license is a mechanism for products to determine if they
  can be used by a computer or user. Some licenses cover
  more than one product and similarly a product can check
  more than one license to validate its usage. Note that some
  products allow different levels of access based on different
  licenses.

  A PAK is a mechanism for loading a license onto one or more
  computers. A PAK consists of the supplier code, the license
  name, the authorisation code (similar to a serial number) and
  a checksum.
