QuarkXPress Server preferences
When you launch QuarkXPress Server, the application creates preferences files that are
functionally and structurally equivalent to the preferences files created by QuarkXPress.
These preferences files reside in the QuarkXPress Server "Preferences" folder.
QuarkXPress Server also creates a "QuarkXPress Server.prf" file in the "Preferences" folder.
This file contains preference settings that are specific to QuarkXPress Server.
QuarkXPress Server uses these preferences the same way QuarkXPress uses them. If an
XTensions module creates a project in QuarkXPress Server, that project draws its settings
from the QuarkXPress Server preferences just as a new QuarkXPress project draws its settings
from the QuarkXPress preferences.
Preferences files are stored in the following locations:
•
Mac OS: [User]/Library/Preferences/Quark
•
Windows 2003 and Windows XP: C:\Documents and
Settings\[username]\Application Data\Quark\QuarkXPress Server
8\Preferences
• Windows 2008 and Windows Vista, when QuarkXPress Server is running as a service under
the "local system user" account: C:\ProgramData\Quark\QuarkXPress Server
8\Preferences
• Windows 2008 and Windows Vista, when QuarkXPress Server is running normally or as
a service under the "Domain user" account :
C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Quark\QuarkXPress Server 8
For more information about preferences, see "Server preferences."
Quark License Administrator
To prevent unauthorized use, QuarkXPress Server requires the presence of a Quark® License
Administrator (QLA) server to launch. QuarkXPress Server follows the configuration and
control rules that are enforced by QLA. For more information about QLA, see the QLA
documentation included with QuarkXPress Server.
Master-subrenderer environment
Requests for project renders are stored in a connection queue. The requests in the rendering
queue can be processed by a single QuarkXPress Server application, or by a master
QuarkXPress Server application and several subrenderers (additional instances of
QuarkXPress Server). The master QuarkXPress Server application launches the available
number of subrenderers and then passes the requests in the connection queue to those
subrenderers as they become available. The number of subrenderers available for launch
is determined by the number of licenses available from the QLA server.
The master QuarkXPress Server application and all of the subrenderers it launches share
the following elements:
