API Keys

Every call to COPS needs to have an API key (which is actually an IMS client ID). Each of the apps has their own, so activation calls generally use the API key of the app making the call, such as ngl_photoshop1. Deactivation calls have always been issued (historically) by the adobe-licensing-toolkit, which uses adobe_licensing_toolkit as its api key.

For now, the proxy is always repeating calls issued by Adobe clients, so it just uses whatever api key was in the original call. If we add the ability for the decoder or proxy to initiate these calls, we will need to arrange for them to have their own registered API key so as not to confuse things.
