I am wondering what other Xinet users experiences have been like when it comes to adding or updating your Xinet Product licenses.

In the past when we had a single server running FullPress, updating a license was simple. But for the past few years, since we have added multiple servers running multiple products, it seems as though it takes Xinet about a week to get an updated license to us--a "correct" license, that is.

The scenario generally goes like this:

I was wondering if there is any information about using a third party
app, like Adobe Bridge CS3, to search for Venture generated metadata
contained by files on a Fullpress volume?

In my workflow, hires images need to be cleaned. I was thinking that if the cleaners were able to search the Fullpress volumes for the images that contain specific metadata created using Venture, it would help a lot instead of having to navigate through finder windows and folders.>>>

Has anyone tested using the current version of Flashnet to backup a
10.5.x Server? We are currently running Flashnet v5.8.11 on a 10.4.11
Xserve, and although SGL hasn't released an official version the
supports Leopard, I am wondering if any one is doing any testing out
there.

I would like to find out if anyone has any experience with having Xinet on a Windows server vs. a Solaris server. We have experienced some major hurdles integrating a Solaris server into our Windows environment and we are wondering if it would be easier and work more seamless on Windows. Will active directory integration on Windows be stronger than on Solaris?

I have a situation where a client is interested in downloading FPO's created by Web Native but will only be able to view them through the default preview application.

The problem we're experiencing is that preview does not recognize the Tiff/ EPS file format web Native is making? Is there a work around or a fix that can help us solve this issue?

Any help or information on this matter is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your time.
