PlanetPress Capture Server/Client
PlanetPress Capture can be set to be either in Server or Client mode from the PlanetPress Capture
User Options.
In Server mode, all pen licenses are stored locally. Other clients can connect to this server to validate
pens. This allows all pen licenses to be managed locally.
In client mode, no pen license information is stored locally. All pens are therefore validated against the
server specified in the Host address field displayed when the Client option is selected. Note that this
validation occurs for every ink file (i.e. PGC file) the local system processes, which may cause a slight
delay for the operation depending on the connection speed and latency between the two systems.
