Important Notes: 1. Users must have the administrator or power user privilege to install eDocPrinter PDF Pro. 2. eDocPrinter PDF Pro works like an Printer Driver. Users can print from applications to convert to PDF files by selecting and printing to the eDocPrinter PDF Pro printer instance. 3. For installing and using in Windows 10/8.1/8/Vista/7/XP workstations, it requires workstation licenses (WKSLIC) installed. 4. For installing and using by remote desktop, remote administrating, or remote sessions in Windows server 2019/2016/2012/2008/2003, it requires either terminal server client license (TSECLI, named users) or terminal server per-server license (TSESVR, per-server) installed. 5. For generic Windows server batch processing (service printing, non-logon sessions, or web integration) or printer server usage in Windows server 2019/2016/2012/2008/2003, it requires INTRASVR/INTERSVR (per-server). 6. The unregistered version is a FULL function version. For unregistered version, it will stamp trial watermarks with hyperlinks for purchasing on PDF generated on every page. Users will get registration key information after purchasing eDocPrinter PDF Pro. By entering it to activate on the About page, it will be turned into a registered one. And no more trial watermarks or extra hyperlinks will be added into the PDF generated after the registration key is properly activated. 7. Unregistered version of Advanced toolboxes (Drag2PDF and etc.) Enterprise toolboxes (PDFSealer and etc.) may pop nag dialogs when doing conversion or stamp trial watermarks for processing PDFs. Users require proper eDocPrinter PDF Adv. or Ent. Pack License or standalone toolbox license to turn it into a registered version. ============================================================= Release Notes Legends: [+] New Feature [-] Bug Fixed [!] Feature - Improvements and Behaviour Changes [a..zA..Z] Feature Category [EPDFPRO]: (Pro.
