The Printer Driver (if licensed and interactive) will launch a browser window and send an
HTTP request to
Workflow
. The result of the receiving interactive process will be
displayed in the browser.
If the plug-in is not licensed, this HTTP request is suppressed and the Printer Driver will
not launch a browser window.

The Printer Driver will display status information using the SysTray.
License Modes
OLCS can operate in three different modes but they cannot be mixed on a single Connect
system. The three modes are: Basic, User and Click charge.
Note
As long as Workflow is still running in the default trial period of 30 days, OLCS will behave
as if it was licensed.
Basic Mode
Basic mode is free to use. This is the default mode and an OLCS license is NOT required.
Operationally speaking basic mode will function as an “unlicensed” system.
The plug-in will capture and store basic job information in a Workflow metadata file:
User name
IP address
Number of pages
Number of copies
Original name of the document
These values originate from the client machine.
User Mode
User mode requires a license for each domain submitting jobs. A domain license can be
obtained to allow 10, 25, 50, 100, 200 or unlimited (Enterprise) users to print. Each domain
needs its own domain/user license, but multiple domains/users licenses can be added to a single
Connect system to allow job submissions from multiple domains.
The user mode license is actually bound to the world wide unique combination of domain and
machine name. This means multiple users sharing a single machine will be counted as a single
user by the license.
For each incoming job, the domain and machine’s name (Unique User Slot Identifier or UUSI)
are combined and matched against the license. The following checks are done:
1.
If the
UUSI
already exists, the job is accepted.
2.
If the
UUSI
does not exist then,
If one is available, this new
UUSI
will be added and the number of free user slots
reduced. The job will be accepted.
If one is not free, the system will check to see if there is any
UUSI
that has not
been used during the last 30 days. If found, it will be replaced by the new user
and the job will be accepted.
