Desktop Single Workstation License

The standard license for the PDF & Print product family up to and including version 10 is a single user license (for a single operating system on a single computer). The product must be activated for each workstation.

The single workstation license permits the installation and use of the product on one workstation. Installation on another workstation requires that the software be uninstalled on the previous workplace. Two or more simultaneously installed copies of the product under one workstation license are not allowed. Using a single workstation license with two or more simultaneous Remote Desktop Connections for Citrix or Terminal Server installation is not allowed.

Local Network License

The local network license (LNL) allows you to install and use a product simultaneously on multiple workstations (multi-user solution). The number of workstations is limited to the number of clients on the network. The product must be activated on a network server (any computer used for licensing services).
