Even if you are not a current subscriber to the Comet Software, most of your core applications will continue to work. Signature Systems continually improves its software and adds new features to the Comet System. These features are mainly available to current Comet Subscribers only.
Benefits of being a Comet Subscriber
- Free COM license for each Comet license. This license is required for:
- CometExplorer
- (CopyFile) mnemonic through the file server. Without a COM license CopyFile is done directly with Windows calls which requires the client to have Windows access to the source and destination folders. This could require you to purchase additional Client Access Licenses from Microsoft.
- (Document=) mnemonic. This mnemonic is used by features of the email printer, the pdf printer, and DocMgr.
- The cb file transfer program used with CometConnect.
- Any applications developed using CometLib.
- The DataExpress version of the Reporter.
- Protection against the loss of Comet access because of theft or verifiable loss of the security module. We will replace the plug/usb and Comet licenses immediately, at no charge to the subscriber. Comet users who are not subscribers must rely on their business insurance to replace their system by completely repurchasing Comet at current prices. The expense and delay far outweigh the cost of the subscription.
- Priority access to the technical support staff.
- The convenience of being able to apply CometAnywhere licenses to any version of the CometAnywhere host. This can be especially useful at subscription time. When new CometAnywhere licenses are issued you may continue to run an older version of Comet on the host until it is convenient for you to install the upgrade.
- Free ODBC licenses for each Comet license.
- Free OleDbLite license for each Comet license (required for interface to Crystal Reports. Note: We can only interface to version 8.x of Crystal Reports.).
