The Data | Enable ArcObjects command queries the ESRI license manager for ArcView/ArcGIS® to see if a license for version 8.x exists. If a valid license is found then the ArcView® functionality within WMS is enabled and you will be allowed access. If a license is not found then the ArcView® functions remain dimmed, but you are still able to do many of the same things, the primary limitation being that only shapefile format is supported for reading GIS data.
