Is this already the reorganised plugin version?

5

Well, a first cleanup and now we will see if someone notices something missing.

6

Did some tests and all seems to be working as expected.

Works fine here. I just had to remove a

SQLAnywhereDatabaseMBS.setLicenseCode
call.

Now just using only a

SQLGlobalsMBS.setLicenseCode

call.

Is this ok this way?

8

Yes.

All working here for Web and Desktop Apps.
