    • Installazione e funzionamento:

    È necessaria una porta USB per il dongle USB; è necessario un adattatore LAN, TCP/IP per l'accesso alla rete; le licenze con soft key richiedono l'accesso a Internet (il software deve connettersi al server delle licenze circa una volta al giorno).

    Interfacce supportate (a seconda delle stampanti, dei dispositivi di misura e dei plotter da taglio utilizzati):

    Ethernet, TCP/IP, USB, FireWire

    Utilizzo in ambienti virtualizzati:

    Licenze con soft key:

    Il funzionamento del software ColorGATE su macchine virtuali non è consentito con licenze con soft key.

    Licenze con USB key:

    Se la soluzione di virtualizzazione supporta l'USB, il software ColorGATE può solitamente essere utilizzato con licenze con USB key. Si noti, tuttavia, che ColorGATE non può fornire assistenza per problemi che si verificano nel contesto della soluzione di virtualizzazione. Potrebbero esserci delle limitazioni quando stampanti, dispositivi di misurazione o plotter da taglio sono collegati via USB. Inoltre, i requisiti hardware devono essere disponibili esclusivamente come risorse per la macchina virtuale, per garantire un funzionamento ad alte prestazioni del software. Per questi motivi, si consiglia di utilizzare gli ambienti virtualizzati solo a scopo di test.
