SbC products licensing

UniPrint’s core products seamlessly support printing in Server-based Computing (SbC) environments. All these products are to be installed on a server platform such as Microsoft’s Servers 2000, 2003 and 2008, or Citrix Metaframe Server and Presentation Server.

These core products include 32-bit products:

• UniPrint Server
• UniPrint Server Gateway Edition
• UniPrint Terminal Server Edition
• UniPrint Terminal Server Gateway Edition

All these core products have their 64-bit counterparts, and the product name is suffixed by “x64” to the corresponding product:

• UniPrint Server x64
• UniPrint Server Gateway Edition x64
• UniPrint Terminal Server Edition x64
• UniPrint Terminal Server Gateway Edition x64

Products with names that have “Terminal Server” works only in Microsoft’s Terminal Services environments, i.e., with the RDP protocol. Products without such in their names also work in Microsoft’s Terminal Services environments, i.e., with the RDP protocol, and in addition, they also work in Citrix environments with the ICA protocol.

The following information is required to generate a license file:

• The machine name on which UniPrint Server is/will be installed.
• The IP address of the machine above.
• Environment: RDP only or ICA (ICA license includes RDP, so RDP can run on ICA license).
• Platform: 32-bit support or 64-bit support (64-bit license includes 32-bit support, so 32-bit platform can run on 64-bit license).
• A serial number that you obtained from your supplier (a reseller, a distributor, or the vendor).

From the above information, you’ll know that when you request a license, you need to have the machine name and the IP address ready, because the license is tied to those two pieces of information.

The licensing model for UniPrint’s core products (i.e., the SbC products) is per server, not per user (or per concurrent users). In other words, each UniPrint server will require its own valid license. Once a UniPrint server has its own valid license, there is no limitation from the licensing perspective as to how many users can connect to the UniPrint server.

This model of licensing is applicable to UniPrint’s SbC products (both Gateway and non-Gateway versions) up the latest release version 6.1.5 (as of writing).
