Hmm. I'll believe all that when I see it, or have someone confirm it. So far all
the OEM's meters have different enable codes.

Possible, but sounds a bit strange/unlikely to me.

I've no idea what X-Rites SDK licensing involves, but as far as I can gather, 
the
only differences between these meters is the enable code, which the application
provides. ie. the same SDK could be used on any of the i1d3 meters, but you 
won't
get anywhere without the enable code for your model meter.

I'm not using the X-Rite SDK since I want to support Linux.
