Installing Xprint V7.0

Installation (users only)

8.5.2Product licensing

The execution and some features of Xprint V7.0 are protected by a license key. When you have installed Xprint V7.0 you can use its full functionality without a key for an evaluation period. At the end of this period, Xprint V7.0 will become unusable unless a valid key has been installed.

8.5.3Types of licenses

Different types of licenses can be supplied, depending on the Xprint V7.0 entities you need to configure on your host, the number of devices to be controlled, or the extra features you wish to use.

Basic licenses

The basic licenses are the following:

Xprint V7.0 Local

Xprint V7.0 runs on a single host and not in a domain. This license level includes all the interfaces (including Mercator and the API), the printing services (possibility of configuring servers and supervisors) and the attachment of BSD Printers (BSD fast filter) on one isolated host. Gateways only support incoming requests from Wprint. Any other interdomain operation requires the Net Server license (see below). Xprint V7.0 Local is basically limited to a maximum of 2 devices, but device upgrade licenses can be added to increase this limit.

Xprint V7.0 Net Client

This level offers all the Xprint V7.0 interfaces (including Mercator and the API). It does not include the possibility of configuring devices on the host. Xprint V7.0 Net Client hosts can only be configured with SLAVE or PARASITE responsibility. This does not prevent the administration of the Xprint V7.0 domain from a Net Client, it merely prevents the host from becoming master of the database. Net Clients can submit jobs to other domains. Gateways configured on an Xprint V7.0 Net Client can only accept requests from Wprint, and cannot be used for output.

Xprint V7.0 Net Server

This level includes the features of Xprint V7.0 Net Client, and adds the possi- bility of setting up devices on the host, configuring the host as POTENTIAL MASTER, and executing fully operational gateways. At least one Xprint V7.0 Net Server license is required in an Xprint V7.0 domain. The number of
