hardware server has more than 4 cores additional cores licenses must be purchased.
 For legal reasons only Prinect applications are allowed to use the database engine.

which is provided together with the license key is part of the Prinect System documentation
and has to be filed.
 We strongly recommend purchasing the maintenance contract "SUA Prinect Data Center" in
conjunction with the "Prinect Data Center” license.
 This maintenance contract entitles the purchaser to a free upgrade to the next version of
Prinect Data Center.
 If the maintenance contract is not acquired directly and in conjunction with the Prinect Data
Center license and renewed on a rotational basis one is not entitled to a free upgrade and new
licenses must be purchased.

Product Information
Prinect Media Manager

A Prinect Media Manager installation requires 3 hardware servers (Web server, database server,
InDesign Server).
The hard disk space required must be checked individually for each installation.
The InDesign server works with "InDesign sessions". Each "session” works on a task (i.e. save a
document; create PDF, etc.). Each session requires 1 core and approximaltely1 GByte of memory. For
the InDesign server itself 2-4 GB RAM are required. This means the more cores and the more RAM is
available the more sessions can be processed in parallel or even more user requests can be served.
The production data should be stored on the InDesign server. The InDesign server shares its data
directories via the Windows sharing protocol with the Web server. Alternatively a network-attached
storage (NAS) can be used as data storage to share the data with the InDesign and web server.
System requirements Hardware: Value ( <= 8 Concurrent User ):
 Web Server:
- Hard disk storage capacity (Program): with at least 500 GByte

Notes
For the creation of the curves, it is necessary to measure register deviations. This measurement can be
done either visually or through the app "iRegister" of the company Techkon
(https://itunes.apple.com/de/app/iregister-pro/id518610538). This application can send the data
directly to the data editor of Automatic Paper Stretch Compensation. The App can be downloaded for a
fee in the App store.

Product Information
General notes to the licensing of Microsoft operating systems

Microsoft server operating systems typically use the "Server / CAL" – licensing model. This means that
for the usage of the functions of the server a license must be present and for the use of that functions
on a client an access license; the so-called "Client Access License" (CAL). Microsoft distinguishes
between two types of client access to a server: the access of a device (Device CAL) and the access of a
person (User CAL).
Example:
A file server is running on a Microsoft server operating system. For the file server, a Microsoft server
license must be present. If an employee of the customer likes to access the file server from a
workstation, there must be either a Device CAL for the workstation or a User CAL for the employee
available.
The example clearly shows that the company structure or operation of the user decides which type of
CAL is best suited for the use of the server or servers.
Towards Microsoft the user is basically responsible for the proper licensing. Since the license models
and offers from Microsoft are varied and complex, and also subjected to constant change, we
recommend the user to ask a certified Microsoft license consultant on the proper use of Microsoft
Software.
