Uniprint Suite: Installing a new or updated License Key.

Question:

How do I apply an updated Uniprint License Key to my system?

Answer:

The Pharos Uniprint License Key is supplied in two files:

1. <SITECODE>.reg

2. <SITECODE>.txt

The files may be supplied as a single zipped ('.zip') file. This file must be unzipped before the License Key can be applied.

<SITECODE> is the Client Site Code: an eight-character alphanumeric code assigned by Pharos Systems, which uniquely identifies your site.

The ‘.reg’ file: is the actual license key-it contains encrypted data specifying the license parameters. These parameters control the maximum number of components such as servers, printers and users, as well as the software expiry dates. The data is stored in the registry.

The ‘.txt’ file: describes the license parameters. It can be viewed with any text editor (such as Notepad or WordPad), and provides quick reference to the license parameters. It has no technical significance, and is included for your information only.

The license parameters can also be viewed from the License Limits context of Pharos Administrator. This context is located under System in the main Context Tree.

Below are the instructions for updating your Pharos Uniprint license key. 

1. Copy the new .REG file to the local drive of the computer with the License Server or the computer with the Principal Services. 

2. Run the .REG file by double-clicking on it. This will automatically update the registry with the new license information. 

3. Stop and restart the License Server (either from the Windows Services manager, or by rebooting the machine). This will apply the new license information to your Pharos system.
