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-renderer 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 renderers (additional instances of
QuarkXPress Server). The master QuarkXPress Server application launches the available
number of renderers and then passes the requests in the connection queue to those
renderers as they become available. The number of renderers available for launch is
determined by the number of licenses available from the QLA server.
The master QuarkXPress Server process and all of the renderers it launches share the
following elements:
The same application preferences (each renderer has its own preferences files, but
QuarkXPress Server keeps them synchronized)
The same document cache in memory
The same memory cache
The same server XTensions modules (a separate instance of each XTensions module runs
with each renderer)
The same server document pool (if defined in the QuarkXPress Server preferences or if a
document provider is used in place of the document pool)
If a renderer unexpectedly quits, the master QuarkXPress Server restarts the renderer
without requiring any action from you.
