The uniFLOW licensing model is summarized in the following illustration, before it will be described in detail in
the subsequent sections:
EITHER for the period of the lease of the hardware on which the software is installed
OR in the absence of a lease, for five years unless earlier terminated*
(*A customer can continue using uniFLOW for longer than this period providing the Software Assurance
is maintained.)
A user license is occupied whilst a print job is in the system and will remain occupied for 15 minutes after the job
has been released or deleted. A license is also occupied when a user logs onto an embedded applet or a
uniFLOW Release Station and will remain occupied for 15 minutes after they log out.
Important Note:
The use of Collective Release Queue Management (CRQM) or Distributed Release Queue Management (DRQM)
has an impact on the required number of user licenses. For details please refer to section 5.2 Impact of
CRQM/DRQM on required User Licenses.
The Secure Printing License also includes Internet Gateway which provides for the integration of
budgeting/payment systems like PayPal.
2.2.2 Statistics
The Statistics Module allows for the storing of accounting data in the database and generation of statistical
reports based on this data.
2.2.9 CopyShop
The CopyShop Module enables shop employees to control all devices (copiers, printers, PCs) in the copy shop
from the central info desk/counter.
* Important Note:
Several scanning destinations are included standard with uniFLOW. The NT-ware Partner Site contains an up-to-
date list of licensing required for all scan plugins and connectors.

iW SAM Express Module: This is the uniFLOW module, which provides the actual integration of iW SAM
Express into uniFLOW. The iW SAM Express Module can be activated with the license key provided by
NT-ware.
iW SAM Express Server: This is the actual server license to be installed separately. It is protected by the
Canon license management server, which provides the customer with a license access number (LAN).
Important Note:
In order to make use of iW SAM Express functionality two more license components are required:
For details please refer to sections 3.1.1.3 (Scan Volume Licenses) and 3.1.1.4 (uniFLOW SAM Device Licenses
for MEAP).

uniFLOW Device License for Canon Device Login Secure Public Scanning iW SAM
MEAP-enabled MFP Printing Express
Login Manager
SPP Addition
3.1.1.2 uniFLOW SPP Device License & SPP Addition for MEAP
The uniFLOW SPP Device License and SPP Addition activate device login and secure document release. If device
login is already activated by means of a uniFLOW Login Manager license or a uniFLOW Scan per Device License
for MEAP, only the SPP Addition will be required to add secure printing functionality.
Important Note:
Printing functionality cannot be activated on a MEAP device by only purchasing the addition.
3.1.1.3 uniFLOW Scan per Device License & Scan per Device Addition for MEAP
The scanning license and scan addition both include an unlimited volume for MEAP-based scans and provide
uniFLOW advanced scan workflow functionality and scanning destinations. The Scan Processing Server is not
required to be licensed separately but is included in the device license. If device login is already in use by means
of a uniFLOW Login Manager license or a uniFLOW SPP Device License for MEAP, only the scan addition is
required to also activate this feature.
Important Notes:
A uniFLOW Scan per Device License or Scan per Device Addition also activates five Scan Device Licenses
for Scan Simulator. The Scan Simulator is a tool for demonstration, development, support and training
purposes.
Every uniFLOW Scan per Device Addition for MEAP requires
o Either a uniFLOW Login Manager for MEAP license
o Or a uniFLOW SPP Device License for MEAP.
Scanning functionality cannot be activated on a MEAP device by only purchasing the Addition.
Scanning via a Hot Folder or through iW SAM requires a Scan Volume License.
Scan volume is available in packages of
o 200,000 pages per year
o 600,000 pages per year
o 1,000,000 pages per year
As many of these licenses as needed can be activated and added together. The total activated volume
can be divided between the sub-systems as required. Scan Processing Servers or scan device licenses are
not required to be licensed separately. For very large installations, a perpetual, unlimited Scan Volume
License is available.
When using iWSAM Express with uniFLOW’s scanning functionality, Scan Volume Licenses need to be purchased
(please also see section 3.1.1.3 uniFLOW Device Licenses for Canon MEAP-enabled MFP/Scanning and Scan
Addition).
These are all single device licenses, i.e. to be applied on one device.

Each uniFLOW Scan Device License for ScanFront includes the ICARUS Server for Web, an application to be
installed in addition to the uniFLOW Server. This behavior license handles the communication between the
server and the clients.
Important Note:
Like the uniFLOW scan licenses for MEAP (see section 3.1.1.3), a uniFLOW Scan Device License for ScanFront
also activates five Scan Device Licenses for Scan Simulator.
Important Note:
The uniFLOW Desktop Scan Client can also be used as scan simulator for demonstration and testing
purposes.
The license code allows you to install a project line version and at the same time prevents installing and running
a uniFLOW version from the standard (service release) line. You may install a new product version as soon as
your required functionality is officially included in a minor or major product release.
If a customization involving enhancements to the uniFLOW core product is needed. This includes the
uniFLOW Kernel, uniFLOW Client, uniFLOW RIP and most components that are not scripts or configuration
files.
If functionality needs to be installed that has been developed for a customer but has not been officially
released yet.
License Requires
The Distributed Release Queue Management (DRQM) functionality allows global routing of print jobs across
print servers. The job is released ‘anywhere’ where users identify themselves.
When considering the required number of user licenses in such an environment the following must be kept in
mind: Each user who prints to a CRQM/DRQM member server (uniFLOW server or RPS), blocks a user license on
each member server of the collective as long as the submitted print job is held in the system. Consequently, to
arrive at the correct number of user licenses, the actual user count must be multiplied by the number of
connected servers.
The slave server requires the following full set of uniFLOW licenses consisting at least of:
A base edition
A CRD Printing License
A JCI License/JCI Licenses (according to requirements)
100 users: 70 users on the main print server and 30 users on an RPS in a separate

The customer also has a system that creates 100,000 tiff files per year and that need
to be processed.
The Enterprise Edition includes one Optional Standard Module and licenses 1 of the 5
print servers (main server).
A second Optional Standard Module is required to have both Statistics and Secure
Printing functionality.
Explanation The RPS Licenses include both the base edition and the modules needed for 4
additional print servers.
A combined SPP and Scan per Device License for MEAP is needed for each device used
for scanning.
The Scan Volume License allows for Hot Folder import of tiff files into the scanning
workflow.
