From UBS V9.10 onwards, the license manager
for the Advanced Office (Including Mail) module is on a per user

concurrent use licensing (a fixed number of users is licensed,
but the licenses are not tied to specific terminals or user
IDs). A message will indicate there are too many users for
Uniplex if the license limit is temporarily exceeded.

formats?
The UBS Document
Access module, standard in V10.0, supports a wide variety of import and export
filters which allow Uniplex to write and read various foreign
document formats, including Microsoft Word. A complete list of
available formats is provided in the UBS
V10.0 Release Notes (see pages 21-23).

13. How can I evaluate the
product before buying it?
One of the easiest ways to obtain an evaluation
copy is to get the free download
of UBS V10.0 from our Web server. A demonstration version is installed
without a license key and contains various restrictions
on the full use of the product.
Demonstration versions for other UBS V10.0 platforms may be obtained
from the Uniplex sales office
closest to you.
An evaluation license key can be provided if the demonstration
version restrictions prevent a full analysis of the product. An
evaluation license is fully-enabled, but for a restricted time
period—generally 30 days. There is a nominal charge for an evaluation
license which is credited against a subsequent product purchase.
Contact the Uniplex sales
office closest to you for more information about obtaining
an evaluation license.
