If your copy of the RIP is a trial version, a watermark is added to every
print job. The watermark can be disabled by purchasing a license key
from Customer Service, and installing the key on your copy of the RIP.
Other features of the RIP also may be enabled by this method. After the
license is installed, re-RIPing the document will remove the watermark.
To obtain and install a license key:
1. Locate and write down the Host ID, located in the Licensing pane of
the RIP “home page.”
The Host ID number is a series of letters and numbers, as shown in
the Licensing pane of the RIP “home page.”
2. Locate and write down the serial number of your printer, which is
located on the silver label on the printer.
3. Locate and write down the invoice number for your printer.
4. Click the Request a License button, OR request a license key
from Customer Service at +1 952.943.5781 or +1 800.925.0563,
OR via e-mail at [e-mail] OR register online at:
http://www.colorspan.com/support/swlicense.asp
If you supply the RIP Host ID, printer serial number, and invoice
number, the license key file is sent to you as an e-mail attachment.
5. When you receive the license key, copy it to the folder on the RIP
computer, c:\program files\kodiak\
The file must be named kodiak.lic. If your e-mail software renames
the file when you copy the attachment to the RIP computer,
rename it back to kodiak.lic.
6. Restart the RIP.
Your new license is shown in the Licensing pane.
