l
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.
l
If one is not available, it will still be accepted, but only in unlicensed mode. The
end user will get a message indicating that the job was received in unlicensed
mode.
No page count checking is done for this mode.
Click Charge mode
Where the domain and the number of users is unknown at the point of sales – for example a
public service driven by users creating their own accounts via the web for onboarding
documents -, the Click Charge license can be used. It allows any number of domains and users
to submit jobs into the Connect system, providing credits are available.
1.
This mode enables the Printer Driver to request a web page (which could include a
preview of the document) from Connect. For each job that is received, the Job Processor
plugin records key data in the database.
2. One click equals one page (any size) of the submitted print job. The number of copies (if
used) is recorded in the database, but not used for click calculations.
3. The click charge for all incoming jobs is counted upon receipt, but if a job fails for any
reason, then the click count is restored as if the job was not received.
4. Each incoming job is checked to see if the number of pages will result in remaining
credits. If so, the job will be accepted, otherwise it will be treated as "unlicensed" and no
credits expended.
5. All jobs from any IP, user, domain or machine will be allowed, if there are credits
available.
6.
New Click Charge licenses are added to Connect. Each new Click Charge buy will be
reflected by an additional entry in the license file itself, indicating the newly purchased
credit amount. The license check algorithm sums up all entries.
Example: A customer purchases a click charge license on 1st January 2016 with a credit
of 100,000 pages. At the end of March, they determine that their remaining credits
(20,000) won’t be sufficient for some big jobs they are expecting and so they purchase
another 100,000 credits. The issue date of the new credits is 1st June 2016. The new
credit balance will be 120,000.
