   * Add a note in marketing material and software that BTEs from Intuition family cannot use NOAHlink with standard cables (Diana/AJ).
   * Review how many customers are ordering Intuition BTEs, to know the impact of this decision (Paul).

-    * Unique ManID for each brand.
+=== Plan B:  Unique ManID for All Custom Brands ===
-    * Avoids cross reading any product with any software (if not a module account).
+Implement a single and unique ManID for <del>each</del> all custom brands (i.e. a single ManID shared with all custom brands).
-    * Cannot share DLLs with SoundDesign circuits.
-    * Requires custom software code for every brand (including Audina).
+  * Avoids cross reading any product with any software (if not a module account).
-    * Requires custom product list for every brand (including Audina).
+  * Cannot share DLLs with SoundDesign circuits, and both DLLs cannot coexist in the same machine. Requires to distribute an additional DLL for custom brands (an equivalent DLL which uses the custom brand ManID).
-    * Requires building branding software to set ManID (especially for Ethos circuit based products).
+  * Requires custom software source code for every brand (including Audina).
-    * Requires requesting ManID from circuit supplier, or assign one internally (but then each custom brand must be calibrated, including BTEs, OTEs, and other stock products).

-  * **Plan C: Hybrid approach**
+  * Requires building branding software to set ManID (especially for Ethos circuit based products).
-    * Implement Plan A for future products (including Intellio), and implement Plan B for current products being manufactured (Intuition, Sparo, Flx, BTE 478P, etc.).
