Version history
What's new in the station client and the server. Stations and the server are updated automatically, online or from a file, with a backup and rollback.
- The station checks its own program and licence files. If the program is modified, the licence or seat-list file is replaced or removed, or the clock is turned back, labels print with a DEMO mark and the station tells the server. Printing never stops and a licensed station works as before.
- Requires server 1.1.34 or newer.
From 1.1.39 update in Settings; from older versions use the full installer.
- 2.0.17 stations report the checksum of their program and tamper signals; the server forwards these to the vendor without station names, addresses or fingerprints.
- The «seat list ends soon» notice now appears only in the list's last days, not constantly.
- Recommended station client — 2.0.17.
From 1.1.39 update in Settings; from older versions use the full installer. Stations 2.0.16 and newer deduct the glaze.
- The product card sets the glaze norm (a percent) and when the product is weighed — after or before glazing. An example under the norm shows what the station deducts and how much must be on the scale.
- The product list shows a glaze mark and sets the norm for all selected products at once.
- Settings hold one rule for all products: the norm as a share of the glazed weight or as a percent of the net.
- Every norm change is recorded in the product’s log. Label templates can show the glazed weight, the glaze weight and the percent; the pack report shows the glazed weight.
- Glazed products go only to stations 2.0.16 and newer; the card lists the stations that will not get them.
- The label editor takes the whole window and can switch to full screen.
- Stations are offered client 2.0.16.
Needs server 1.1.34 or newer; the glaze needs server 1.1.44.
- The station deducts the glaze by the norm from the product card. The weighing screen shows the scale reading, the tare, the glazed weight and the deducted glaze, with the net without glaze in large digits (EU Regulation 1169/2011, Annex IX, point 5).
- Fixed weight: the nominal is printed as the net, the tare comes on top, and the tolerance is checked on the net without tare and glaze. For a glazed product the station says how much must be on the scale with the tare.
- Packs, boxes and pallets keep the glazed weight.
Needs server 1.1.34 or newer; the server licence must carry the “Seat list” feature.
- After a licence is moved to another server (a new server computer, or the new server binding in 1.1.43), the station accepts the new server’s licence. In 2.0.14 the station printed with a DEMO mark in that case.
From 1.1.39 update in Settings; from older versions use the full installer. A licence issued before 1.1.43 must be re-issued for the new machine_id shown on the “Licence” page.
- The licence is bound to the Windows installation and the mainboard: a copied registry value no longer moves it to another computer.
- After a subscription ends everything works for 3 more days; then the server sends no data to the stations, and stations 2.0.14 run the demo only until the renewal. While a subscription is ending, the server looks for the renewal every hour.
- Turning the clock back does not extend a subscription.
- A copy of the server (such as a cloned virtual machine) cannot receive the seat list alongside the original.
- Stations are offered client 2.0.14.
Needs server 1.1.34 or newer; the server licence must carry the “Seat list” feature.
- The station accepts server data, over the network and as offline files, only with the vendor's licence signature and seat list.
- If the seat list does not name this computer (for example, the station folder was copied to another computer), labels carry a DEMO mark.
- 3 days after a subscription ends the station runs the demo only: printing with the server's data stops until the renewal, the data is kept. Turning the clock back does not extend it.
From 1.1.39 update in Settings; from older versions use the full installer.
- Stations are offered client 2.0.13; if stations run an older client, the server announces the new one.
- “Station not configured” on “Station and license” and “No operator” in the station menu now appear in English, German and Ukrainian when that language is selected.
From 1.1.39 update in Settings; from older versions use the full installer.
- Stations are offered client 2.0.12: a station without a network loads the server's files from a USB drive and saves its report for “Stations”.
- If stations run an older client, the server announces the new one.
- “Station and license” has a new “Without network: file exchange” block: the station finds the data package (.lps), setup file (.lpi) and jobs (.lpj) on a USB drive and loads each with one button.
- The station report (.lpr) is saved to the drive and uploaded on the server under “Stations”. The report needs data from a licensed server.
- Stations without a USB port can use a network folder.
From 1.1.39 update in Settings; from older versions use the full installer.
- The installer shows a short licence agreement in its language, with links to the full terms and the privacy policy.
- Apps & features lists the website, contacts and changelog; the name no longer carries the version number.
- The logo in the installer windows is sharp at any display scaling.
- Stations are offered client 2.0.11.
