Printers

The Printers page in License Center is divided in License information and Licensed Printers sections. From here you can:

  • See how many printer seats you have on your license.

  • Have an overview of your licensed printers and printer seats.

  • See when printers were last used.

  • Designer Pro and PowerForms Suite: Reserve or unreserve your printers.

License Center only shows your licensed printers. Under Printers, you can see the printers you used in the last 7 days.

Note

Licensed printers are printers that occupy printer seats. Printer seats are claimed automatically when printing or manually by reserving printers.

Read more about counting licensed printers.

When you first sign in to License Center, the list of your printers on the Printers page is empty. Your printers become visible after you start printing.

If you can't see your printers, you may have problems with setting up your printing environment. See Setting up your printers.

    Note
