Network license
If you want to use novaPDF Printer as a printer server (like described in Network auto-install
topic), you will need a network license with the number of users you wish to connect to the printer
server.
The license should be registered on the printer server computer.
Manage network licenses
You can manage network licenses only from the printer server computer.
The number of licenses is written on the About page in the Printing Preferences dialog.
You can manage network licenses from the Licenses dialog that is opened from the About page,
Licenses button.
When you first register a network license, the Licenses dialog is empty. If a print job is started
from a computer in the network, the computer name is registered automatically for a license, as
long as there are licenses available. So if you bought enough licenses for your network, you don't
have to configure anything, all computers will be automatically registered when they initiate their
first print job to the novaPDF printer on the printer server.
If you wish, you can manage the licensed workstations manually in the Licenses dialog. You can
add, remove or rename workstations in the licensed machines list.
Depending on your network configuration, you can choose what machine names to use for
licensing: NetBIOS names or DNS names. You can switch at any time between NetBIOS and
DNS names. Just remember that if you already have machines licensed with one name they will
not be recognized with the other name. You will have to change the names manually or you can
remove all machines from the licensed list and let the novaPDF printer license them with the new
name at the moment of the first print job.
