Upgrading PrintShop Mail

The hardware key contains the license information of the PrintShop Mail application.

To view the license information, select Help/Credit Information.

To use certain features in PrintShop Mail, your license must be upgraded before you are allowed to use this feature. This count for the amount of credits, CARE, automated printing and multi user licenses.

Credits

Unlimited or Production version, allows unlimited records to be printed.

Limited or Standard version, allows 200,000 records to be printed.

CARE

The care date determines which PrintShop Mail version is licensed. Each PrintShop Mail version has an own release date, which is compared with your care date. If your care date is equal or newer than the release date, the application will run as licensed, otherwise the application will run in demo mode.

Cross Platform

All current PrintShop Mail dongles are cross platform and any user that has a valid OL Care contract can request a voucher for a cross platform license.

PrintShop Mail upgrade options

The Upgrade options are only enabled when the PrintShop Mail hardware key is attached to the computer where the upgrade procedure is performed.

To upgrade your hardware key

From the Help menu, you can select from three different upgrade menu items:

Voucher: If you have a PrintShop Mail voucher number, click on the "Voucher" option. A PrintShop Mail voucher web page will open. Here you need to enter the voucher number and some additional information to confirm the request.
Upgrade request: If you want to add credits, upgrade the version, add OL CARE or another option, click on the "Upgrade" option. The PrintShop Mail Upgrade page will open. Here you select the options you want and some additional information to confirm the request.
Activate dongle: If you have received an Authorization code back from your voucher or upgrade request (by email), you have to copy that code into the Activate dongle screen. Then click "Activate".
