Single-user PC/workstation license

Each single-user license permits SwiftView Tool product use by one user on one PC or Workstation. 

A Single-user license is a file 'locked' to the licensed computer/host name.  Reinstalling the operating system does not affect licensing.  We will replace a license file if the system name changes, provided Updates/Support coverage is current and the license is being used in accordance with its intent.  If collecting hostnames for large volume purchases is a problem, please discuss your proposed purchase with sales. 

If you wish to use SwiftView Tools products under Citrix, Terminal Server, a remotely accessed PC e.g. Remote Desktop or PC Anywhere, a UNIX server or workstation; that is, any form of multi-user or shared-access system, you should purchase an Application Server or Network license.

Application Server license

An Application Server license allows SwiftView Tools to be installed and executed by any number of users on a single physical Windows server using Citrix*, Terminal Server, Remote Desktop, or any other remote access systems, or on a single UNIX server or workstation.  Users may execute a licensed SwiftView product on this server, and access its user interface from any networked display.  Or you may deploy your own applications that internally execute a licensed SwiftView product directly on this server.  For example, you may have a web browser-based application or a distributed networked application using Microsoft .NET or other distributed services, as long as the SwiftView programs are executed only on the licensed server.

An Application Server license does not enable executing SwiftView Tools products locally on a workstation connected to the licensed server, even if the SwiftView software is physically installed on a shared file system on the licensed server. 

An Application Server license is file 'locked' to the licensed computer/host name.  Reinstalling the operating system does not affect licensing.  We will replace a license file if the system name changes, provided Updates/Support coverage is current and the license is being used in accordance with its intent. 

One license must be purchased for each server in a Citrix server farm. 

In some cases, a Network, website, or SwiftStamp license may be less expensive and/or easier to deploy on multiple application servers.  Please discuss your proposed purchase with sales.

Network license

A SwiftView Network license enables a specified number of users on a local or wide-area network.  Licensed users can view and process documents from any source with the licensed SwiftView Tool(s), so long as they have access to the network license file (or license files) installed on shared file servers. 

The software executes on the user's workstation.  Standalone SwiftView Viewer can be installed on the file server, but the SwiftView ActiveX or plugin must be installed on each user's workstation.  SwiftView Tools products can be installed from the end-user installation pages on www.swiftview.com.  However, we recommend that you deploy the installers on your own file server or company Intranet so that you can select the version for your users.

Website licenses allow users to view, print, and save documents and drawings located on the licensed website using browser-based SwiftView Viewer.  The software may be downloaded freely and installed on an unlimited number of systems to access documents on the licensed website.  Purchasers of the website license have permission (and are encouraged) to place browser-based SwiftView installation files on their own website to ensure continuous, timely access to the desired version of the browser-based SwiftView download.

Website licensing is server-based.  We supply a single license file locked to your website "root URL" name or IP address. The license permits one website to support up to a specific number of browser-based SwiftView users, either within your company intranet or on the World Wide Web, depending upon the license level.  A Website license is priced for one physical server and one URL root address.  If multiple physical servers support one website URL root address (e.g. "load-balancing"), email SwiftView sales for a price quote.  Generally, each physical server requires a separate license.

Website licenses do not allow access to "local" files.  However, files viewed on a licensed site can be saved locally for later off-line access with browser-based SwiftView. If you need to access "local" files, email SwiftView sales for more information on available licensing options. 

Website licenses are available as Intranet Website licenses or Internet Website licenses and are priced according to the number of users who access the Intranet or Internet website. The Intranet Website license can be used for internal websites that are only accessible by users on your company Intranet. Any website accessible on the Internet requires the Internet Website license.  If you are unsure whether your server allows Internet access to your documents, please email SwiftView sales

Rapidly changing technology makes it essential that all website users be provided with the latest SwiftView Viewer.  As a result, all SwiftView Internet Website Licenses require that Updates and Support be maintained as long as the license is actively used.

SwiftStamp:  Everybody, everywhere can view your files with SwiftView Viewer

SwiftStamp batch utility places SwiftView licenses in PCL, HPGL or TIFF files in a manner guaranteed not to modify the appearance of the file.  Once stamped, anyone, anywhere can view or print the file with SwiftView Viewer for free.  This provides the most flexible licensing, because stamped files can be distributed by email, ftp, CD, or a website.

SwiftStamp can also place licenses on PCL, HPGL or TIFF files after they have been zipped, thereby making no change to the file itself.  SwiftView unzips and displays the licensed files without user interaction or knowledge.  The zip package can also contain ICS commands and require the user to enter a password to view.

SwiftStamp batch utility is licensed for individual servers and is priced according to the annual total number of documents stamped by the individual server and for the SwiftView Viewer features available to users accessing the stamped documents.  We supply a license file 'locked' to the licensed computer's name. The SwiftStamp batch utility tracks the number of documents stamped by the server over the course of the year. If the number of documents stamped exceeds the number of documents licenced, the license can be upgraded to enable a higher number of licenses. Unused document stamps roll over for use in following years.  Reinstalling the operating system does not affect licensing. 

Rapidly changing technology makes it essential that all SwiftStamp document recipients be provided with the latest SwiftView Viewer.  As a result, all SwiftStamp batch utility licenses require that Updates and Support be maintained as long as the license is actively used.
