Hi
is there a HowTo or Best practice for installing PDF-XChange PRO in a Terminal Server environment?
We use several terminal server in our environment which are distributed with images (Virtual Machines). As standard the free PDF-XChange Viewer should be installed.
For some but not all customers on a server, PDF-XChange PRO must be installed.
The questions:
- Can PDF-XChange PRO simply installed over the free version and does complement this then also accordingly?
- How can I configure on a terminal server the access in such a way that only selected users can access the Pro-Version and others only the viewer?
As an example:
1 terminal server - 20 users - 3 licensed Pro-User - rest should use PDF-XChange Viewe as a viewer?
Best regards
Mischa

Hi Mischa,
I must apologize for the delay in answering this post. I seem to have missed it.
When licensing on a Terminal Server you have 2 options available to you:
1. Install with the license key so that all users have access to the "Pro" features then restrict access to the application by using a group policy and/or file permissions
or
2. Install as a 'Free' installation and supply the serial key to only those users who should have the Pro features. Since the serial key is stored on a per user basis you can run the single installation for both Free and Pro users without involving permissions or other controls. In a mixed environment like you are suggesting I recommend the this approach.
Which ever method you choose just be sure that you own enough PDF-XChange Licenses to cover the users who have access to the Pro features.
