It relates because raw OSR507 rejects pre-507 development system
licenses, but it isn't supposed to.  Installing OSR507MP1 fixes that.
So if you have an old DS license, you must:

  install OSR507
  install OSR507 DS, deferring the license
  install OSR507MP1
  license the DS

Another route is:

  install OSR507
  install OSR507MP1
  install OSR507 DS (apply license during installation)
  install OSR507MP1, drilling down into its components and selecting
    only the DS portions

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
