An individual standard license of File Conversion Center will allow you to install and license a single computer/workstation with the software. If you are installing the software on a terminal or Citrix server, the number of licenses required is based on the number of users that will be using the installed software.

PEERNET offers volume discounts for the purchase of multiple licenses beginning at 5 licenses.

A Standard license will allow the user to manually initiate the batch conversion of any number of files or folders from the desktop using the Convert To menu, desktop converter bins, and/or the advanced application interface.

If you require command line options for silent commands, please see our Professional license of File Conversion Center. That said, if you need to convert large volumes of documents on a continuous basis, then we recommend looking at our Document Conversion Service software instead as it can run 24/7 to convert large volumes of document in an automated and unattended fashion.

Document Conversion Service is a server-based, fully automated, Windows product used to seamlessly integrate document conversion into your workflow. As opposed to our image printer solutions, Document Conversion Service will centralize your file conversion needs to a server environment.

As a business or small group user we recommend you purchase either an Entry Level or Level I license of Document Conversion Service. An Entry Level license will activate a single physical or virtual server for processing up to one document at a time. A Level I license will activate a single physical or virtual computer for processing up to three documents concurrently.

Document Conversion Service can work on converting documents created by hundreds, or even thousands, of users as it can be configured to monitor folders on your network share.

PEERNET offers volume discounts for the purchase of multiple licenses beginning at 2 licenses.

If you need to convert more documents concurrently, you may be better served by a Level II or Level V license.

Enterprise or Corporate Use

As an enterprise or corporate user we recommend you purchase either an Unlimited End User license or Pre-Authorized Open license of TIFF Image Printer, Raster Image Printer, or PDF Image Printer.

We generally recommend an Unlimited End User license when you have 50-100 users. If you have hundreds, or even thousands, of users, you are better served by a Pre-Authorized Open license. In addition, if you intend to distribute the software in a software push, clone or provision virtualized machines, or utilize a gold-copy without the need to license each machine, you will need a Pre-Authorized Open license.

  • An Unlimited End User license:
  • Licenses an unlimited number of workstations.
  • Must be licensed and authenticated by manually entering the serial number on each workstation.
  • Not usable in Windows Service or Schedule task.
  • Not usable for Terminal Server or Citrix Server users.
  • Only usable by logged in desktop user.
  • Only usable in interactive sessions.
  • A Pre-Authorized Open license:
  • Licenses an unlimited number of workstations or servers.
  • Does not require licensing. License is pre-authorized for companies that need to install hundreds of computers, automated installations, or pre-installed configurations that are deployed in an automated fashion.
  • Usable in Windows Service or Schedule task.
  • Usable for Terminal Server or Citrix Server users.
  • Usable by logged in desktop user or service user.
  • Usable in interactive and non-interactive sessions.

As an enterprise or corporate user we recommend you purchase a Pre-Authorized Open license of PDF Creator Plus. If you have hundreds, or even thousands, of users, the best license level for you is the Pre-Authorized Open license.

A Level V license will activate a single physical or virtual computer for processing up to ten documents concurrently.

Document Conversion Service can work on converting documents created by hundreds, or even thousands, of users as it can be configured to monitor folders on your network share.

Note: A Level V license can be very CPU intensive. Therefore, we often recommend purchase multiple Level II licenses, to be run in a clustered environment, to improve overall performance and ensure failover support.

PEERNET offers volume discounts for the purchase of multiple licenses beginning at 2 licenses.

If you require a non-production license for testing purposes, we would recommend purchasing an Entry Level license.
