Chris, relax a bit, please. Your last two posts read like an explanation the gear needs to come down early in approach in order to use the wheel brakes for slowing the aeroplane. Also sounds logical but not exactly the way it works.
Buying second-hand licences is a minefield, 8/10 you get something partly dysfunctional. Possibly with workarounds that create even more restrictions.
The OP's 2003 should work just fine if installed properly, way back then the OEM restriction was just a legal wording of it (and it is still now if you manage to uninstall properly).
