RE: PSF license keys

Rob,

I believe this was an honesty thing - I was sure I had a document on it
but can't find it.

If you had a 45 page per minute printer you needed to purchase feature
5112.

If you had faster printers you were supposed to purchase the correct speed
feature.

And it was only required for IPDS printing.

Maybe in later releases there was something that actually checked but I am
positive in V5 and V6 days it was no enforced.


Cheers


Don Brown

Well, if I have a key for the 1-55 speed and that still works,
and I don't have a line of people with pitchforks and torches complaining
about their printer,
and it's not popping up messages in DSPLOG,
should I be concerned? It's been a few months.
