How do I register my license for WebPDF-4+? 
The dongle must be registered at the licensee's main address or “home base”. In other words, it must be registered according to the end-user information (name of end-user, organization, address) that was received at ICDD for the initial license purchase.

Please note: You will need to install and register the product within 30 days of receipt of your WebPDF-4+. 

Following installation, registration is required to activate WebPDF4+ 2008. The dongle must be connected in order to register the product.  You will navigate to "ICDD WebPDF-4+ 2008" program group in the Start Menu and select "Register ICDD Product". Once you successfully register the product, you will receive an e-mail confirmation.  The dongle requires only one registration in order to access the WebPDF-4+ from different computers.

How will my license renewal be handled the following year?
All PDF-4 products are handled through an automatic subscription service.  ICDD will bill you for the new release of your WebPDF-4+ product based on your original invoice date for the license. For instance, if you purchased your initial license for WebPDF-4+ 2008 in September 2008, ICDD will bill you for WebPDF-4+ 2009 in September 2009.

Your license renewal and registration will be handled via the Internet, similar to your initial registration. You will be required to download new software and register your product with each new release of the WebPDF-4+.

Where can the dongle license be used? 
The WebPDF-4+ can be used on any local computer meeting the specifications above that has access to a high-speed Internet connection. The dongle will validate each log-in after registration.  Access is granted to the WebPDF-4+ only from a local computer.  If the dongle is plugged into a computer server, it will not work since it can not be used over the server.

Please note: The dongle must always be present on the computer that you will be using to access the database.

How long does it take to download the initial information from the dongle?
The initial download from the server takes about one hour or less, depending on your connection. You will need to download software from the server on each computer that you will be using.

Please note: The dongle must always be present on the computer that you will be using to access the database.

What happens if I lose my dongle?
ICDD will “turn-off” access to the lost dongle and charge a $500 fee for replacing a lost dongle.  In order to receive a new dongle, you will need to report the lost dongle and serial number to ICDD’s Customer Service Department. Upon verification of your WebPDF-4+ license, ICDD will ship a replacement dongle.
