Changes in the licensing model

YSoft SafeQ 5 introduces important changes in the license model. The product is licensed per device with two simple options:

License with embedded terminal (per device)
License without embedded terminal (per device)

The per-device license with embedded terminal applies to all supported vendors, therefore it is not required to get separate license for each vendor in customer's environment (see list of supported terminals).

YSoft SafeQ 5 Suite license offers all features available and supported. Therefore customers can enjoy most of what YSoft SafeQ 5 has to offer at highly competitive price.

Editions (Instant, Professional, Enterprise) are no longer available. Instead, YSoft SafeQ 5 can be purchased in separate (or combined) modules:

Authentication
Print Roaming
Reporting
Credit and Billing
Rule Based Print
Scan Management
Mobile Print

Each module is described in more detail in the Module overview section.

Authentication, Reporting, Credit and Billing, Rule Based Print and Mobile Print modules can be licensed standalone. Print Roaming and Scan Management modules must be licensed together with Authentication module.
For each per device license (with embedded terminal or without embedded terminal) either the whole SafeQ Suite with all modules can be licensed, or just individual modules or their combination, however the licensed modules has to match.
- It is not allowed eg. to license 10 devices with embedded terminal with Authentication and Print roaming module and 10 devices with embedded terminal with Authentication and Scan Management module.
- Only exception is the Reporting module that can be licensed standalone in addition to the other licensed modules (for example for monitoring of prints on the older devices).

Up-to-date information about available licenses, packages and combinations is always available from your Y Soft representative.
