There are two different license types available for ColorGATE's version 20 software products:
- Single Host License / Software (SHL-SW): Software-based license for use on a single computer. The software is activated with an activation code that binds the license to the respective computer via the ColorGATE license server. The license can be transferred so that it can be used on another computer if required.
- Single Host License / Hardware (SHL-HW): Hardware-based license for use on a single computer. The license is verified by a USB dongle and a key file.

- Single Host License / Software (SHL-SW): A permanent internet connection is required to connect to the license server (the software needs to connect to the license server about once a day).
- Single Host License / Hardware (SHL-HW): A free USB port for the dongle is required (must remain plugged in during operation).

The software must be able to establish an https connection to gls.codefusion.technology via port 443. Please make sure that this port is unblocked and not blocked by your firewall.

For product registration, please go to our Service & Support area. There you log in, or, as a new customer, first create a user account.
Under Account & Registration you will then find the item Product Registration. Please follow the instructions.
After successful product registration you will receive a confirmation e-mail. You will receive another e-mail as soon as your keyfile is available.

Please read the FAQ "How long is the delivery time of software?"

For software-based licenses (SHL-SW), you need an activation code when you first start the software.
You can find it in the Service & Support area in your user profile. Open the Licenses tab there and select your license. In the license details you will find your activation code.

After you have registered a SHL-HW license, you will be notified by e-mail when your keyfile is ready for you. Please follow the instructions in the e-mail.

While we recommend using our software-based licenses in an online environment, this might not always be possible. Software-based licenses can therefore be used offline, too. If you do decide for it, there are some things to keep in mind. You can find a detailled description in our Blog.

Please contact us​​​​​​​ immediately if you notice a defect in your dongle. If your dongle is not older than one year, we will send you a replacement free of charge. For older dongles, we will send you a new dongle for a replacement fee of 50 EUR plus delivery costs. In any case, please return the defective dongle to us. You will receive the unlimited keycode only after we have received the defective dongle. You also have the possibility to switch to our software licensing. In this case, please send us your defective dongle as well. Upon receipt we will send you the unlimited keycode for your software license. The exchange fee does not apply here.

In the event of loss or theft of dongles provided, the licensee is solely liable and responsible. In such cases, ColorGATE will neither reimburse nor replace the dongle, irrespective of the existence of police reports of theft. We recommend taking out appropriate insurance to cover the risk of theft, burglary or loss. In any case, contact us via the contact form.

In order for the system to recognize the dongle during a remote desktop connection, not only the corresponding driver must be installed, but also the "Sentinel Protection Services" must be started. However, these are not automatically restarted after a Windows update.
You must restart the following services yourself, see Windows Services:
Sentinel Keys Server
Sentinel LDK License Manager
Sentinel Protection Server
Sentinel Security Runtime

You can find the latest dongle drivers here:
supportportal.thalesgroup.com/csm

You can find detailed system requirements on each product site and here.

On our website you can find the list of supported devices. Here you can see which printers we support.
Your device is not listed? Contact us. Maybe the printer driver you need is under development.
If you are already a customer, the best way is to contact us with a web ticket.
If the printer is not on this list feel free to contact us.

Since version 20 Productionserver is no longer compatible with Windows 7. Please note: Microsoft discontinued the support for Windows 7. To continue using this operating system will cause severe security risks.
Please visit this site to check which operating systems are compatible with Productionserver.

You can access the online manual by pressing F1. This activates the help for all relevant functions for the area of the software that you are in. Furthermore, you can download the online help as PDF manual in the download area. Please note that you have to be logged in to access it.

MIM combinations (packages consisting of linearizations and profiles including print mode settings) for a lot of printers can be found in our download area. Please be advised that you must be logged in to our support site to reach the download area.

For HP Latex printers the HP profile database can be accessed directly from Productionserver to download ICC profiles with corresponding print mode settings. For Epson SureColor S-printers the Epson Dashboard can be used.

Older MIMs (packages consisting of linearizations and profiles including print mode settings) are normally compatible with newer software versions. However, we recommend creating new profiles to benefit from improvements of the Profiler.

Generally we do not have color shifts between different versions, there are however times this may happen. One example is when the color engine has been improved which can expand the color space which can introduce small color shifts. This is not the norm however. To benefit from the continuous improvement of our software, it is necessary to create new profiles on a regular basis.

You can find the latest Epson HTM- and Canon PB modules in our download area. Please be advised that you must be logged in to the technical site to reach the download area. 

If you are in possession of a dealer dongle, please check whether the module is activated under Options -> Versions -> Modules. If not, please activate it accordingly and restart the software.
Otherwise, please check under Options -> Update License (hardware licensing) or in your user profile (software licensing) whether the corresponding module is available.
If not, please contact our Customer Service.

The hardware dongle can always be used to start the latest release of the previous version. Accordingly, you can also run version 10.34 with the V20 dongle. You can always find the corresponding update in the download area. Please note that you have to be logged in to get access to the download area.
With a software dongle you can only operate versions from version 20.

In our Techblog you will find for each major version an article "Backup & Restore: Ensure a smooth transition from V xx to V yy" (e.g. this article for an upgrade to V23.10). It explains how to back up and then restore your software settings.

Since V23.10, you can also use the Setup Assistant to easily import the system configuration of an earlier version. How to do this is shown in this video.

Yes, this is possible. However, please note that the different versions may be installed in parallel, but can not be opened at the same time. Switching between the versions also requires a one-time startup with administrative rights in each case. In addition, you must make sure that the two versions do not use the same printer definitions and archives. The same hot folders can be used but will only work for the version presently operating. Please also note that you can only run version 20 or higher with a software dongle. With a dongle you can always start the last version of the previous release. I.e. with a V21 soft dongle you can also run V 20.01.9217.

The JDF (Job Definition Format) interface is an industry-standard interface based on the XML markup language for direct data exchange in workflow systems. More information about our JDF module can be found here.
Our REST API Module also provides another interface between ColorGATE software. Via this HTTP-based interface, Productionserver can be embedded in a workflow controlled by third-party applications.
You can find more information on our ColorGATE Techblog or a more detailed document with examples in the download area. Please note that you have to be logged in to get access to the download area.

You need a transmitted light densitometer for Filmgate Linearizations, e.g. the X-Rite 341C. Are you interested in an individual offer? Then please feel free to contact us.

You can find detailed information on configuration and equipment in our ColorGATE Techblog.

No, a separate driver is not required. When installing the printer, you can decide whether a SpectroProofer is available for the Epson printer. This measurement device will then appear in the list of supported measurement devices for various measurements.

Since we do not support Winows XP anymore, SCSI is also not supported. The necessary ASPI layer for SCSI is only supported by Adaptec up to Windows XP. If you are using a printer with a SCSI connection, e.g. Seiko ColorPainter SIIT IP-6600, ColorGATE advises against updating to a Windows version newer than Windows XP, as SCSI support is no longer guaranteed.
