Having said that JES2 seems to go through a complete rewrite every few years and it may not be feasible anymore so they may have dropped this feature. IIRC it was not expensive but I think the last time I looked and this was 10+ years ago they (the product) snuck things in and if you didn’t stop the use of it, the product had you hook line and sinker it was just impossible to get out of production as there was no equivalency out there.
