It's a fairly commonly asked and straightforward question though. As far as
a declaration goes; We fit the proflie for the TAP. We have our software,
our keys. What we do not have is a correctly functioning site in terms of
OEM PID's nor do we have anyone willing to stand up and go "yes, it's a
problem" or "no, for (reason xyz) you can't use them". We're stuck
apparently fitting the TAP profile but unable to use it and no one will tell
us why.

No I'm not going to make an "official" statement.



What I will say is I've personally been looking into this and it's being
worked on.

Why you're specific OEM PID is not working varies from user to user. I've
seen post from users that indicate OEM PID's have worked and I've tested the
site myself with an OEM PID and it worked. (And no I didn't indicate that I
was an employee nor did I test it from work)



Are we looking into this: Yes absolutely!

Can I tell you that your PID will eventually work, No I can't



In short we're working on it.
