Developers using these tools can take advantage of the branding process for OEM ODBC drivers. For branded ODBC drivers to be used through MSDASQL, the application needs to open a rowset with a table name that is also a special key. The name of the OEM license file and the OEM password, in the format "{License File Name,OEM Password}", form the key.

Note: There can be no spaces in this syntax unless they are part of the password.

The branded driver is then "unlocked." To unlock a branded driver, the unlock code must be the first action taken after the connection is established, as shown in the following examples.

When the driver is successfully unlocked, the following error message is returned: 
"OEM driver is successfully unlocked."
