A Hyper.Net Request Queue is a database that tracks all conversion and publication requests sent to Hyper.Net. Once you have licensed a document volume appropriate for your needs, you may install an unlimited number of Hyper.Net request queues on an unlimited number of servers to meet your conversion requirements. Hyper.Net's conversion and publication services software may also be installed on an unlimited number of servers to achieve high degrees of parallelism.
The number of documents managed collectively by all installed queues may not exceed the licensed document volume. For the purposes of calculating volume, the deciding factor is the number of documents managed as separate documents and submitted to any Hyper.Net request queue for conversion.
The administrator will receive an email when the licensed document volume is nearly exhausted. After the licensed document volume has been reached, Hyper.Net SharePoint Edition will not accept any new documents for conversion. Existing documents and their corresponding converted formats and publications may still be updated, reconverted and republished as users continue the documentation process. The conversion and publishing of new documents in this case requires either the deletion of existing publications managed by Hyper.Net or the purchase of a larger document volume license.
Document volume licenses may not be shared by separate legal entities. For example, two separate legal entities may not separately manage documents and submit conversion and publication requests to a shared queue for their own purposes. Similarly, a centralized IT organization may not offer conversion and publishing services for separate legal entities under the same corporate umbrella. Each legal entity in this case must have its own document volume license for its own documents.
Collaboration is allowed. If your partners and suppliers access your network to share and save documents, which you then wish to convert and publish with Hyper.Net, this is not a violation of license rules. The content is still being managed, published and used within the licensed legal entity. Such other legal entities may not, however, use the same infrastructure to convert and publish their own content for their own use.
Converting documents to PDF, hypertext, Flash and other formats can take time, especially if documents are long and multiple output formats are desired. If you have a high-volume, high-demand conversion and publishing situation, the time between document check-in and availability can grow at peak demand times. You can install Hyper.Net's transformation services on multiple servers that act in parallel to handle the requests of a queue to achieve acceptable conversion speeds even when demand is intense. There are no licensing fees for the Hyper.Net software you may wish to distribute on multiple servers. A group of Hyper.Net transformation servers acting together on a queue is referred to as a pool. The Hyper.Net Workload Manager can be used to implement intelligent load balancing and failover of all transformation servers in one pool, giving your solution unlimited enterprise scalability. The Hyper.Net Workload Manager is licensed per pool.
The Free License is optimal for both test and production use and has no associated license fee. It remains, however, a licensed edition for legal reasons, and its use is subject to the Software License Agreement included with the product.
Only one Free License may be used within any given legal entity.
