UniPrint started out in 1999 and has been around for 10 years (as of this year, 2009) and gone through several stages.
When it first started, UniPrint was just a product name of Qnetix, a division of Charon Systems, a Toronto, Canada-based system integrator specializing in Citrix products, and later Microsoft Terminal Services products.
Then, Charon Systems was bought by FutureLinks, a California-based company. So UniPrint was under FutureLinks.
Next, FutureLinks went bankrupt, and owners of Charon Systems bought it back and reverted it back to Charon Systems.
Then next, Bell Canada bought Charon Systems. In April 2005, Bell Canada bought another company Nexxlink Technologies, and integrated the two companies into a new Bell entity: Bell Business Solutions (BBS). Then next BBS disintegrated the two companies into a few divisions, along with some other small companies that BBS bought. UniPrint became a division under Bell Business Solutions.
BBS wanted to expand its business in Europe, and set up a UK-based company called Ingenica. But because business in Europe did not pick up as hoped, the Ingenica operation was shut down. Yet the name Ingenica still lived on until 2008.
In 2008, Bell Canada sold BBS to a Montreal, Canada-based IT company GFI Business Solutions, a subsidiary of a French company GFI. And UniPrint now is a division under GFI Business Solutions.
You may have wondered seeing different names on the EULA (End-User License Agreement) -- if you ever read them -- on different versions of UniPrint products. And now you know where those names come from.
Also, you’ll see in the license of UniPrint version 5 and earlier is stored in the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Charon.
