Custom Web Service Connections/Sessions - Read-Only License vs Integration License

Web Client Laserfiche SDK Licensing

asked on May 4, 2016 • Show version history

Hello All,

I have created a custom web service that user the SDK to create a pdf from a LaserFiche document and then opens the pdf in a browser. The logic used is as follows

The LaserFiche session is opened. If no sessions are available, a session/connection attempt will continue for 5 seconds before failure.
The document is retrieved and exported to a pdf byte array,
The LaserFiche session is closed,
The pdf byte array is used as content to open the document in a browser.
The entire process takes less than 5 seconds.

Currently, I am using a read-only account that can have up to 8 concurrent sessions opened. For now, the 8 sessions seem to more than sufficient.

Does this process have any down-side as compared to using a LaserFiche Integration License that so far, does not seem necessary? Does an integration license give me any advantages?

Thanks,

Bruce

Hi Bruce,

Laserfiche Named Retrieval User licenses are assigned to individuals and cannot be shared. Please adjust the integration to use the Named Retrival License assigned to the user connecting. If you do not share licenses among individuals, the session limit will not be an issue.

Here is some additional information on licensing: https://www.laserfiche.com/support/webhelp/Laserfiche/10/en-US/administration/#../Subsystems/LFDS/Content/LaserficheLicensingGeneralInformation.htm?Highlight=license

Hi Catherine,

Will a Named Retrieval License give me a block of licenses that can be used for a set number of users? I am looking for licenses that are shared among a specific number users (say 25 or so) that are not assigned to a specific user. Sort of how the public portal licenses work for WebLink.

Thanks for your help

Bruce

The Named Retrieval User Licenses are assigned to an individual user and cannot be shared among a group of people. There are very straightforward ways of searching and downloading documents through Laserfiche WebLink. Each document has a unique ID that can be pulled. WebLink can be accessed either through a generic public account or securely through authenticated user accounts. For more information on WebLink customization, look here: https://www.laserfiche.com/support/webhelp/weblink/9.0/en-US/WLA/WLAdmin.htm#WebLink_Controls.htm%3FTocPath%3DCustomizing%2520WebLink%7CVisual%2520Studio%7CWebLink%2520Controls%2520Reference%7C_____0
