This license is specifically for PaperCut Authorized Partners and Resellers to use at their own sites and on their own machines. If you are an end customer or a Reseller with an end customer looking to trial PaperCut MF please skip to the end of this article for more details What is an NFR license? The PaperCut Not For Resale license is a special license exclusive to PaperCut Authorized Partners and resellers. It is a fully functional PaperCut MF/NG license that is valid for 6 months at a time. An Authorized Partner and its Resellers are entitled to install an NFR license to demonstrate the PaperCut MF product in any of the following sales scenarios: Showrooms: for demonstrating to potential customers. Within your organization: it is always good to use the products you sell. Your laptop: for demonstrations at the customer site or other scenarios outside of a showroom. Exhibitions/trade shows: showcasing PaperCut MF to prospects. For version 23.x and earlier: There is no limit to the number of instances you can use with the same NFR license, e.g. multiple showrooms, test labs, sales laptops, exhibitions, and internal use within your business. For version 24.x and later: Your NFR entitlements will be shared across any Application Servers running the same NFR license. For example if you apply the same NFR license to App Servers in your showrooms, sales laptops, labs etc, they will share the total number of entitlements. e.g. if the NFR has 1000 device entitlements, then those Application Servers will share the 1000 devices entitlements available. See Important points to know about PaperCut MF licensing (Global set of entitlements) for more information on shared entitlements. What does an NFR contain? Each NFR license includes: 200 x Users 2,000 x Embedded for each MFD type 100 x Release stations All payment gateways and other connectors 2 x Job Ticketing rooms PaperCut MF - Advanced Print Enablement Pack, multiple rooms PaperCut MF - On-Prem OCR and Document Processing Pack Other Information All colleagues in your organization can access the same NFR license. You can either share the license with one another or log into the portal to download an existing active NFR. They will require login credentials to the PaperCut Partner Portal to access the NFR download. Here’s how to get started with our Partner Portal. Note that with PaperCut MF version 24 and later, the NFR entitlements are shared between any Application Servers using that NFR license. So for example if you use the same NFR license on 2 separate Application Servers each with 10 devices, and the NFR has 2,000 device entitlements, you’ll have 1,980 device entitlements left. NFRs on these later versions can only be applied by uploading the NFR license file - there is no activation key provided for NFR licenses at this time. An Authorized Partner can grant an NFR license to their sub-resellers, or these subsidiaries can create their own. We recommend that all parties using an NFR license for demonstration purposes are required to complete the latest version of the PaperCut Technical Certification available on the PaperCut Partner Portal. 14 days before the expiry of the NFR license, a new one can be created in the portal.
