Not sure. I haven't seen something like that in the license. After POC
we bought HW and license from EMC
Yes - I understand with a full license from EMC, or one of their appliances, the data does fly.

Could you please name few of them? I'm looking for something like
Tableau but web based (without .Net) and hackable (our DB is partially
encrypted)
Try InetSoft - we have used them for reporting in the past, and they have an awesome drill-down, dashboard, reporting tool. It's also very hackable.
I haven't looked at LogiXML in a while - but their Ad-Hoc tool was pretty impressive.
I had forgotten about Tableau, and it appears they have a server component now. That's good to hear.
