Managing InfoPrint Manager licensing

You can use the License Key Management Application (LKMA) or the InfoPrint Manager Web Management Interface (WMI) to manage InfoPrint Manager licenses.

There are several license types available for InfoPrint Manager:

Trial
The trial license expires after 60 days from the installation of InfoPrint Manager.
Perpetual
The perpetual license grants unlimited usage with no expiration.
Subscription
The subscription license is valid for a specific period.
Maintenance
The maintenance license expires after 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 years, depending on which license you purchase.
Enterprise
The enterprise license lets you to make multiple installations on different machines using the same license key. To find out if you are eligible for the enterprise license, contact your Ricoh representative.

    Note:
  1. The initial purchase of the InfoPrint Manager product gives you a free one year maintenance license. Under normal circumstances for a purchased product, you receive a perpetual plus one year maintenance license.
  2. The subscription license automatically includes a corresponding maintenance license for the same validity period.
  3. If you have a perpetual license and the system fingerprint used for generating a license key is changed, the InfoPrint Manager software continues to run in grace mode for a period of 7 days. You must contact your Ricoh representative to receive a new license key before the period expires, otherwise the InfoPrint Manager software stops running on your system when the grace period ends.

  4. If you make changes to the system configuration of the InfoPrint Manager host that could affect the system fingerprint, you must first stop all the processes related to InfoPrint Manager by using the /usr/lpp/pd/install/killprocs.ksh command.

  5. InfoPrint Manager does not check for feature maintenance keys at runtime.
