Server licensing
All of Em’s plugins have special headless server versions (with no user interface), since all are scriptable running inside InDesign Server.
Adobe defines four types of server licenses (section Licensing): premium, limited, development and trial.
Em Software plugin licenses for InDesign Server Premium (public-facing) and Limited (in-house) are sold on an annual subscription basis (up to 3 years), locked to a specific InDesign Server instance.
These paid licenses include Em’s premium support, and include all major and minor upgrades that are released during the plugin license subscription period (i.e., maintenance).
Our products, part numbers and annual licensing costs (in USD) for the two levels of InDesign Server are:
| product | sku premium | annual | sku limited | annual |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DocsFlow Server | IKSP1 | 2950 | IKSL1 | 1450 |
| InCatalog Server | ICSP1 | 2950 | ICSL1 | 1450 |
| InData Server | IDSP1 | 2950 | IDSL1 | 1450 |
| WordsFlow Server | IWSP1 | 2950 | IWSL1 | 1450 |
| Xtags Server | ITSP1 | 2950 | ITSL1 | 1450 |
Ordering
Credit-approved companies can order our server products with an official purchase order in an original PDF (no scans, please), emailed to sales@emsoftware.com, with 30-day payment terms, specifying:
- your standard purchase order information (company name, accounts receivable (billing) address, email address, phone number, purchase order number, any VAT number, etc.);
- the product name, part number (SKU), and quantity of each Em server plug-in product being ordered.
The license period will begin when we send the license for installation, by default, or at some date worked out in advance.
Installation
Once the license is purchased, you should contact us for download and installation instructions.
Once installed, you can fire up InDesign Server, pick up the “fingerprint” substitute serial the plugin outputs on the console, and email that to us.
With that fingerprint, we can create your specific license file and email that back to you, to be installed in the same folder as the server itself.
Evaluation
We can also provide free, time-limited (usually 30 days) but otherwise full server licenses for our plugins under the Development and Trial versions of InDesign Server.
For a time-limited evaluation license, please perform the “fingerprint” process above, after we direct you to the download.
