Summary

More information

In very special and rare cases (and after being in contact with the Sales team), you may be issued a new starter licence number. When you update Zetafax to reflect the licensing change, please follow the procedure below to keep your original settings and configuration options.

Note: The new starter licence number is usually the latest version. All old starter licences must be discarded.

  1. Enter the licence number you were given to upgrade.
  2. When the install of the server is complete, cancel the licence wizard.
  3. Leave the Zetafax Server stopped.
  4. Browse the folder you downloaded Zetafax to or the Zetafax CD. Locate the licence.dat found here:

< Download Folder> \Zetafax\Server\program files\Zetafax Server\System\Z-DB.

  1. Navigate to the < Zetafax Installation Folder> \Zetafax Server\System\Z-DB folder and place the licence.dat from above in this folder, overwriting the previous copy.
