- Start the Inlite Control Center from Start -> Programs -> ClearImage
- Select Versions Tab. See Activate Version for currently active version
- To activate PDK. Click Active Production Version and selected desired version
- To activate SDK. Click Active Development Version and selected desired version
- Restart you application or Web Site
- Notes:
- 1 Workstation licenses are limited to 5 pages-per-minute, when used on Windows Server/VM/Cloud
and 25 pages-per-minute, when used on Windows 7, 8, 10. A page is an image in a single-image file (JPG, BMP, PNG, etc.) or a single page in a TIFF or PDF file.
- 2 ClearImage SDK operates in one of these modes:
- Evaluation Mode. All functionality (except WebAPI) is licensed without any limitations. Mode is in effect for the first 60 days after installation of ClearImage on a specific computer (unless extended at Inlite's discretion)
- Development Mode. All functionality (except WebAPI) is licensed. This mode require periodic user interaction and therefore does not support unattended operations (like a Windows Service or a Web Services).
Mode is in effect after Evaluation mode has expired.
- 3 Multiple versions of both ClearImage PDK and SDK can be installed at the same time. Applications locate runtime based on the following rules:
- ClearImage COM (ClearImage.dll or ClearImage.x64.dll)
- The active COM version identified in the Registered COM section on the Versions Tab of Inlite Control Center
- The Registration-free COM should be located in application's folder
- For Java application, the runtime should be located using these rules
- ClearImage .NET (ClearImageNet.70.dll)
- If assembly installed in the GAC the version identified in ClearImageNet in GAC section on Versions Tab of Inlite Control Center is loaded.
- If assembly is removed from the GAC, the assembly is loaded according to these rules.
Q: Why I am getting error message "Use of unlicensed function ..."?

Q: Do I need Server or Workstation license?
A: Server licenses enable you to use the engines on a Windows Server, Virtual Machine or Cloud installations. If your application is used only on a computer running Windows 7, 8, 10 and process less than 25 pages/minute purchase a Workstation license. When used on Windows Server/VM/Cloud, Workstation licenses can process up to 5 pages/minute, whereas Server licenses offer unlimited performance.
