NiceWatch User Guide
The classic NiceWatch Enterprise edition provides benefits over the standard NiceWatch 
application in views of high-load enterprise printing (multiple print engines) and central 
log server (Enterprise Print Manager). But NiceWatch Enterprise can offer even more. 
If you require some extra functionality not covered by NiceWatch Enterprise out-of-the-
box, please contact your software reseller. The functionality you are looking for might 
already be available with some NiceWatch Enterprise add-on. 
To upgrade your NiceWatch Enterprise license to some new feature, do the following:
1. Start NiceWatch Server Manager. 
2. Select Help -> Manage License. 
3. Enable the option Manage current software key license. Click on Next. 
4. Select the option Upgrade software key license. Click on Next. 
5. Enter the Upgrade Key Number and follow on-screen instructions. 
Generally speaking, you must validate your Upgrade Key Number on the internet 
activation website. The recommended method is to simply click the option Connect to 
the Activation server. 
Using License Manager
Note: The information in this topic applies to Enterprise Series only.
The program License Manager is used to monitor and manage licenses. License Manager 
displays the information of the current client and also provides an overview of the total 
license occupation. The Enterprise Print Manager (EPM) stores the licenses for the 
NiceWatch Server. 
You can also use it to enable/disable off-line mode for workstations. Off-line mode 
enables selected workstations to function in spite of the fact that Enterprise Print 
Manager (EPM) is not available or not accessible. It is used in environments where 
mobile label printing is required or in events where server system failure would otherwise 
stop the label production. 
Force Off-line Mode:NiceWatch Server will not check for the presence of the EPM. The 
application will automatically start in the off-line mode. When the license lease expires it 
will stop running and you must renew the license by switching off this option and re-
connecting to the EPM. 
Note: 
The off-line license expires after 15 days.
