Preparing for your installation
This chapter is designed to provide you with all the information you need before you start your PrinterOn installation. You should take the time to familiarize yourself with the contents of this chapter prior to starting the installation and setup of your PrinterOn software. Please review all of the system requirements, recommended applications to install, and other installation requirements.
📘 Managing your PrinterOn license file
When you purchase the PrinterOn service, you receive a license file from PrinterOn. This license file determines what features of the PrinterOn service you can access.
Your license has a specified expiry date; you must extend your license before this expiry date to ensure uninterrupted service. Once the license expires, you’ll have no access to the PrinterOn service until it is renewed.
You should keep this license file in a location that is accessible to the computer where you install the PrinterOn software; the software will need to access it later.

Changing the terms of your license file
Should you change the terms of your license—for example, if you change from a Trial version to a licensed version of the PrinterOn service, add additional printers, or extend the term of your existing license—you must update your license in the Configuration Manager before the changes take effect.
Note: You MUST update your license before the term of the license expires to continue operation. The server will stop operation after the license expires.
