 From what I understand it prevents the "installation"/writing of a 
product into the ZODB (the products management part of the 
Control_Panel) and thus prevents conflict errors. If the product is 
already installed (e.g. by a client who is allowed to do so) then you 
can instantiate instances of your new product. The setting does not 
prevent that.
