There
is complete cross-platform compatibility between all platforms
at the same FlashCONNECT release level. This means any combination
of the above Web servers running FlashCONNECT 1.2 can work
with any combination of the D3 platforms running
FlashCONNECT 1.2. However, FlashCONNECT 1.2 will not work
with FlashCONNECT 2.0. The upgrade from FlashCONNECT 1.2 to
2.0 is free.
Web
Server Requirements
FlashCONNECT
is designed to work with any Web server which supports the CGI
or ISAPI (on NT Web servers only) interface. While there may
be a few specialty Web servers which do not meet this criteria,
we believe most, if not all current Web servers (Apache, IIS,
Netscape, ...) will run FlashCONNECT.
Whenever
the Web server is started, a FlashCONNECT program must also
be started. This program must be able to create and access
a named pipe in the /tmp directory. This is usually not a
problem if you host your own site. If you are using an independent
ISP, you may need permission to do so.
Licensing/Pricing
Please
contact your TigerLogic reseller for pricing information.
There
is a charge for activating FlashCONNECT. Each concurrent FlashCONNECT
session consumes one user license.
This
document describes in greater detail how to more efficiently
use FlashCONNECT ports.
Activation
Permanent
activations are obtained by:
-
Purchasing FlashCONNECT
-
Obtaining the new permanent activation code
-
Apply the new activation code
