PlanetPress Capture License Management
The PlanetPress Capture License Management window is used to manage the pen pack
available in the installation of PlanetPress Capture. Each Pen Pack contains a limited number
of pens that can be registered in the Capture Database. When the number of pens have been
reached, new pens can no longer be registered.
If no pen pack is available, PlanetPress Capture functions in Demo Mode. In Demo mode, only
one (1) pen can be registered in the pen management window. Also, the "Capture Fields
Generator" on page400 will be unable to produce more than 8 documents with a pattern
instead of the full 20,000 patterns.
