There is also only one configuration key to Application Integration Framework Web Services, and it is tied to the AIFWebService license key. Therefore, you cannot disable the AIFWebService configuration key either.
The AIFWebService license key builds on the AIF license key and both are required in order to use AIF Web services.
Intercompany
If the Intercompany configuration key has been enabled, you can to exchange documents electronically in the application among the internal companies. The AIF license key is not required to set up and use the intercompany functionality in Microsoft Dynamics AX.
External companies
You can exchange electronic documents among external companies without enabling the AIF license key.
Regardless of the license key (AIF or Intercompany), the endpoints must be configured and set up to enable exchange of electronic documents.
