If we purchase a Server Edition do we need a seperate license for our development server and development workstations?

No, Server Editions are licensed per production server. You may use the same license on development workstations and development servers.

If we purchase a Developer Edition, do we need to license servers that we deploy to?

No, Developer Editions are licensed per developer. A developer can deploy an unlimited number of server or workstation based applications and assemblies royalty free.

How is the licensing information included in my redistributable application?

With a developer license, your unique license key is added using the license key file or with one line of code when your application starts. This license key file or the license key can be retrieved from our website after purchasing a Developer Edition license.

If I purchase a Server Edition, can I deploy without installing the MSI package on the target server?

Yes, the target server can be licensed by including the license key file or by placing a license key in your applications .config (app.config) file or by adding one line of code when your application starts. This license key file or the license key can be retrieved from our website after purchasing a Server Edition license. Make sure that IIS and .NET framework is installed on the target server.

Do I need to purchase a maintenance plan to recieve upgrades or updates?

No, upgrades between minor version are free. Upgrades between major versions are provided free to maintenance subscribers and are offered at a significantly reduced cost to other licensed users.

Our server has multiple processors. Do I need to purchase a license for each processor?

No, this product places no restrictions on the number of processors on the machine.

Why do I see the PDF code in the browser instead of the PDF document?

This can be caused by using the refresh button after correcting an error. IE does not update the MIME type when using the refresh button. It is best to always link to the page from another to ensure that the MIME type is set correctly. This can also be caused by outputting HTML before the DrawToWeb method is called or by adding custom HTTP headers to the output stream.

Are there recurring costs when using your product?

No, once you purchase a license you can use that version of the software as long as you like. You can choose to purchase a support plan if you want preffered e-mail and telephone support and free upgrades between major versions.

What image types are supported?
