About Loftware Cloud Compliance

Loftware Cloud Compliance helps large businesses or companies securely design and print labels. With Cloud Compliance, you can print remotely on any printer connected to a computer with Loftware installations installed. Cloud Compliance features three deployment environments: development, quality testing, and production, and an extended printing history (up to 12 years) available in Control Center.

All Loftware products use printer-seat-based licensing. That means printer seats determine how many printers you can print to at a time.

The number of printer seats in your production environment also applies to your non-production environments.

[Note] Note

Printer seats are printer usage units. With each printing to a different physical or virtual (XPS, PDF), a printer takes one printer seat.

To avoid exceeding your printer seat limit, read how Loftware licensing works.

When you buy Cloud Compliance, you decide how many printer seats you want on your license. You can buy more printer seats later.

To learn about the printer seat range for your version of Loftware Cloud product, contact the Loftware sales or your Loftware partner.
