Prinect Data Center All cores inside a hardware server must be licensed (minimum 4 cores per CPU). In case the hardware server has more than 4 cores additional cores licenses must be purchased. For legal reasons only Prinect applications are allowed to use the database engine. License mobility within virtual environments is not allowed due to licensing reasons. The EULA (End-User-License-Agreement) which documents the amount of cores licensed and which is provided together with the license key is part of the Prinect System documentation and has to be filed. We strongly recommend purchasing the maintenance contract "SUA Prinect Data Center" in conjunction with the "Prinect Data Center license. This maintenance contract entitles the purchaser to a free upgrade to the next version of Prinect Data Center. If the maintenance contract is not acquired directly and in conjunction with the Prinect Data Center license and renewed on a rotational basis one is not entitled to a free upgrade and new licenses must be purchased.

Prinect Media Manager A Prinect Media Manager installation requires 3 hardware servers (Web server, database server, InDesign Server). The hard disk space required must be checked individually for each installation. The InDesign server works with "InDesign sessions". Each "session works on a task (i.e. save a document; create PDF, etc.). Each session requires 1 core and approximaltely1 GByte of memory. For the InDesign server itself 2-4 GB RAM are required. This means the more cores and the more RAM is available the more sessions can be processed in parallel or even more user requests can be served. The production data should be stored on the InDesign server. The InDesign server shares its data directories via the Windows sharing protocol with the Web server. Alternatively a network-attached storage (NAS) can be used as data storage to share the data with the InDesign and web server.

General notes to the licensing of Microsoft operating systems Microsoft server operating systems typically use the "Server / CAL" licensing model. This means that for the usage of the functions of the server a license must be present and for the use of that functions on a client an access license; the so-called "Client Access License" (CAL). Microsoft distinguishes between two types of client access to a server: the access of a device (Device CAL) and the access of a person (User CAL). Example: A file server is running on a Microsoft server operating system. For the file server, a Microsoft server license must be present. If an employee of the customer likes to access the file server from a workstation, there must be either a Device CAL for the workstation or a User CAL for the employee available. The example clearly shows that the company structure or operation of the user decides which type of CAL is best suited for the use of the server or servers. Towards Microsoft the user is basically responsible for the proper licensing. Since the license models and offers from Microsoft are varied and complex, and also subjected to constant change, we recommend the user to ask a certified Microsoft license consultant on the proper use of Microsoft Software. Prinect DELL Qualified Server List Servers that are ordered by DELL Global Portal are provided with an OEM license for the corresponding Microsoft server operating system. In addition, the package includes 5 User CALs for the corresponding server OS. Workstations that are ordered via DELL Global Portal are provided with an OEM license for the corresponding Microsoft desktop operating system. 12 2016 Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG Prinect System Requirements 33
