I. DATAformXTension
Multi-user licenses
If you are using more than one QuarkXPress version with DATAformXTensions in a network,
please take note of the following:
-
The file DATAform.LIZ contains a list of all the QuarkXPress numbers in the network that
can work with DATAformXTension. All desktops that are registered in the DATAform.LIZ
file must have the same DATAform.LIZ file in the QuarkXPress/DATAform folder.
-
QuarkXPress desktops in a network that shouldn't work with DATAformXTension and are
not registered in the DATAform.LIZ file can not install DATAformXTension. Erase XTen-
sion from these desktops.
-
If you use a QuarkXPress 6 multi-user license (one QuarkXPress serial number including
several licenses) you need the same amount of DATAformXTension licenses.
Checking licenses
If you have license related problems with DATAformXTension (with some QuarkXPress desk-
tops, the DATAform demo dialogue can sometimes appear) proceed as follows:
-
Open the file DATAform.LIZ by dragging it onto SimpleText if working with MacOS
(under Windows rename the file temporarily as DATAform.txt and open it in
Notepad.EXE). The file contains a list such as:
96732402
9184563628
8153573613
96732403
7384563678
9153573634
Each line contains three large numbers that form a license for a QuarkXPress serial number
(which can also be a multi-user license).
(Under windows all numbers may appear in one line; you can insert line breaks after every
third number or add new lines, see below.)
In both cases the first number is the serial number for the QuarkXPress version for which
the license is valid. In the above example the file contains licenses for the two QuarkXPress
versions with the license numbers 96732402 and 96732403. The two remaining numbers
are the unlock code for the serial number.
The file DATAform.LIZ is a complete list of all the QuarkXPress versions in the network
that can work with DATAformXTension.
-
Compare these numbers with all the QuarkXPress versions in the network, that have
DATAformXTension installed.
-
Check, whether all the DATAform QuarkXPress desktops have the same DATAform.LIZ
file installed.
Reading the QuarkXPress serial number
The “About DATAformXTension” dialogue shows the serial number of the QuarkXPress pro-
gramme in the top right hand corner. The last digits of this number can vary from the number
shown in the “About QuarkXPress” window.
The serial number that appears in this dialogue window is the number which is vital for the
