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.
Note
The Server/Client mode is only used for managing pen licenses and has no impact on the Capture
