Re: SIP2 and CybraryN

Reguarding SIP2 and uses other than Selfcheck.  I recently ran into the 
problem that requiring pin numbers is a global option for all SIP2 
licenses.  We do not require pins for our selfcheck, but we would like 
to require them for patron management and for use with MNLINK, the 
minnesota ILL/Union catalog system.  From what I have been told this is 
not possible.  It is either all or nothing.
