Or

When trying to enable a new Zetafax user in the Zetafax Configuration, the following error message will be displayed:

Cause

This problem will apply when you have upgraded your system from Zetafax 5.5 through to version 7.5. 

In Zetafax 7.0 the system upgrade licence increased the number of licensed users on the system by the number on your upgrade licence, e.g. if you originally had 10 users licensed and then upgraded to version 7.0 with an upgrade licence for 10 users then you would be able to add 20 Zetafax user accounts.   This is incorrect behaviour.

With Zetafax 7.5 the upgrade licence rechecks the original Starter system licence and only the correct number of users can be enabled.

Resolution

If you still require an additional user licence to increase the number of Zetafax users then please contact the Zetafax Distributor for your country or:
