Disabling and activating a plug-in
When a plug-in is disabled, you cannot use any features and operations supported by that plug-in.

was disabled will still appear in Units View windows, but you will not be able to acquire status
from those units, and links that initiate connections to those units will not be available. You will not
be able to add more appliances of that type until the plug-in is (re)activated.
