A: From USBI version 1.11 and higher, we support customer tailored OEM features as well as standard application features. If OEM is selected, the user will be asked to enter his OEM code. The OEM code is specific to each type of tailored interface ordered. If the code is entered, a special installation (with the requested features) will be performed. For all other customers, the Standard installation is the correct choice.
