novaPDF v7 User Manual
Copyright © 2011 Softland
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 on the printer
server. As the client computers are being assigned a license, you will see the number of
Available licenses decreasing, and the licensed status as Yes near the name of the licensed
computers.
The client computers are automatically added in the computers list even when the server is not
licensed. In this case all computers will be listed as unlicensed. When novaPDF is registered, the
computers in the list are automatically licensed. If you have more computers in the list then the
number of licenses, the computers at the end of the list will remain unlicensed.
You can see a status of the current available licenses in the lower right-hand part under the
Available licenses text. If you wish, you can manage the licensed workstations manually in the
Licenses dialog. You can Add, Remove, Rename or Unlicense workstations in the Licensed
Computers 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 novaPDF license them with the new name at
the moment of the first print job.
