Professional Edition

Product Description

Whatever the license, XMLmind XSL-FO Converter Professional Edition consists in two self-contained distributions:

  1. A distribution containing command-line tools, some technical documentation, a class library (xfc.jar or xfc.dll). This distribution is available in a JavaTM version (xfc.jar) or in a .NET version (xfc.dll) depending on the product purchased by the customer.
  2. A distribution containing XMLmind XSL Utility.

    XMLmind XSL Utility is a graphical application written in JavaTM (there is no .NET version of XSL Utility), which, out of the box, allows to convert DITA 1.1, DocBook 4, DocBook 5 and XHTML documents to PDF, RTF, WordprocessingML, Office Open XML and OpenOffice formats.

    XMLmind XSL Utility

    A dialog box allows to modify the specifications of existing conversions (example: change the paper.type parameter of the XSLT style sheet from A4 to USletter) or to add more conversion specifications (example 1: convert DocBook 4 to PostScript® using FOP; example 2: convert TEI to PDF using PassiveTeX).

Licenses

The different products come in a JavaTM or a .NET version and differ by their licenses. All licenses come with free access to new releases for one year.

Description

This license allows installation and use of XFC on any number of host machines, as long as the number of concurrent users does not exceed the total number of users for which the applicable license fee has been paid. (You'll like this This makes it a ``floating license''.)

Moreover, the terms of this license make the deployment of XFC extremely flexible. For example, it makes XFC well-suited for highly distributed companies, often working with independent contractors.

This license allows installation and use of XFC on a limited number of host machines.

It is intended for integration of XFC into a web application.

Note that the term server encompasses any host on which XFC is installed, including development/test machines. Thus if your application runs on both a production server and a development/test machine you will need a license for two servers.

This license allows installation and use of XFC on any host machine located inside a demarcated geographical area.

It is intended for integration of XFC into a web application deployed on numerous servers.

You'll like this Additionally, the licensee may install and use XFC on host machines located outside the site boundaries, provided that these machines are dedicated to development and test activities, i.e. they are not used as production servers.

This license imposes no restrictions on the deployment of applications integrating XFC. You'll like this Once this license has been purchased, no royalties or runtime fees will be due to XMLmind.

The intent of this licence is:

  • Allow software vendors to integrate XFC in their own products.
  • Allow system integrators to build for their customers IT solutions including XFC.

    We still recommend system integrators to let their customers purchase Server Licences or Site Licences. However, this approach was found to be impractical in some cases, hence the Developer License for system integrators.

    Note that with the Developer License, system integrators have the choice: purchase the license for themselves (which allows to use XFC in other projects) or let their customers purchase it.
