Pandora supports floating licenses when integrated with:
- Kodak Prinergy Workflow software 9.x or later
Using floating licenses allows you to install the software on multiple computers, with one or more licenses "floating" between the computers. Pandora claims licenses when you select a license from the License Server and create, open, save, or print a job. It releases a license when you close all jobs, when the software remains inactive for a period of time, or when you close the software.
When you start Pandora, it tries to use your previous license options (software or floating license). When you run the software for the first time, or if the previous license options are invalid and you click Cancel, Pandora will operate in demonstration mode. When you are in demonstration mode, you cannot save or print a job, and you must close all your layouts to switch out of demonstration mode.
To avoid having resources such as marks or substrates (formerly referred to as press sheets) that are stored on separate computers appear the same, but actually be different, ensure that all the computers that share a floating license share your ShopMap, Marks, and Job Templates folders. If you modify a mark on one computer and the mark is not shared, the updated version will not appear if you open the mark on another computer.
