How the NetCFax server controls the product licensing.

You can install the fax client on as many of your networked PC's as you wish, irrespective of the size of license you have purchased.  This means that you can install a fax client on every PC in your organization if you feel you want to do so.

Quite reasonably, to perform any useful activity, the fax clients need to log into the fax server, which is where the licensing is checked.  To login to any fax server each fax client has to provide both a login account name and the password for that account.  (These are the fax login accounts created in the NetCFax server, and nothing to do with Windows login accounts).  The server maintains a list of these NetCFax login accounts, and their current status, so that if that login account is already in use (the fax client on another PC is using it) the login attempt will be refused by the server and the fax client is told why it cannot be used at that time.  That notification includes the login name and the IP address of the machine it is currently in use on.

If a visitor account is used, the server checks the total currently logged in accounts, and will only create a visitor account if one or more unused licenses are available.  This means it is possible for a visitor account to block access to a valid login account until that visitor account is closed.

We believe this provides the maximum flexibility for any network, and also ensures ease of installation as the fax clients do not have to be registered individually.

The licensing system works in exactly the same way if you are running the same fax client installation under Windows XP with Fast Task Switching, and even when running it in separate Remote Desktop sessions on Windows 2000 and 2003 servers.

NetCFax does not limit you, and neither do we make any extra charge for the use of multiple modems with the server (as some fax system do).  You can have as many modems in use as your particular Windows system will support.

If your server license is for less than 25 users, NetCFax 2.7 and NetCFax Pro 3.1 limit the total outgoing faxes (not pages) you can send in any one day to 40 times your server license count.

NetCFax PRO+ 3.6 however only limits the total outgoing faxes (not pages) you can send in any one day to 50 times your server license count.

All systems licensed for 25 or more users have no outgoing fax limit at all.

If you want to run the NetCFax server as a Windows Service, we make an additional charge for the plug-in that allows this.  This means that rather than increasing the product cost to everybody, only those that wish to take advantage of this facility pay for it.
