When you buy AppExchange products or third-party products they often come with Salesforce licences, typicslly Salesforce Platform licences that then show up in your org under 'company information'.

From reading around on how the ISVForce and OEM App model works, it appears that these licences are OEM or Embedded licences and so are not quite the same as the non-OEM licences that you buy directly from Salesforce - even though they are indistinguishable in the company information licence count.

So am I right in thinking:

* The licences that come with AppExchange/third-party products are *always* OEM licences
* And hence they do not give the end user the right to add additional custom objects

**edit:**

This Salesforce help page:

[Salesforce - OEM User License Comparison](http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/packagingGuide/Content/oem_user_license_comparison.htm)

says

This seems pretty clear - OEM licences do not let end users add their own custom objeects - but I can find hardly any mention of this important fact anywhere else and so I'm wondering it this info is out of date.
