As an OEM customer, you can brand the Progress® DataDirect® for ODBC drivers. Branding the standard commercial Progress DataDirect for ODBC drivers allows you to distribute the drivers with your application as closed, password-protected drivers.

Branding renames the driver and license files and encodes them with a 2-character prefix of your choosing. The default prefix for 32-bit driver file names is IV; for 64-bit driver file names, the default is DD. The prefix you enter replaces these default characters, for example, ggrsftnn.DLL if you enter gg as the prefix and nn represents the driver level number. Refer to the Installation Guide for your driver for installation requirements and configuration information.

If you are branding drivers from multiple versions, the installer will generate a single set of shared files. For example, for an installation including 8.0 and 7.1 drivers for 64-bit Windows platforms, a single license file, DDxx.LIC, will be installed with the specified branding.
