Entitlements
After purchasing an entitlement for PFTrack, you need to obtain an Entitlement Token to run the application.
Entitlement tokens are either Dynamic or Static:
Dynamic entitlement tokens are provided by the PFBucket entitlement management system over your local network to any client machine running PFTrack. Information on how to connect PFTrack to your PFBucketd server is available here.
Static entitlement tokens are generated manually in the PFAccount Admin Hub and are locked to a single machine. Further information on static entitlement tokens is available here.
In addition to managing your entitlements, the PFBucket entitlement system provides many other beneficial features including direct ticket-based technical support contact with The Pixel Farm's support and development team, and access to the latest application installers without having to visit the PFAccount Admin Hub.
You can choose how each of your product entitlements will be used by visiting the PFAccount Admin Hub and selecting the appropriate option on the Product Entitlement Manager page.
Important details on the restrictions that are imposed when using PFTrack with a static entitlement token are available here. Please review this information before generating a static entitlement token.
Renewing Maintenance
Your entitlement token determines which version of PFTrack you are able to run. If you have recently renewed your maintenance subscription to gain access to the latest builds, you need to make sure your entitlement token is up to date.
To do this for static entitlement tokens, just visit the PFAccount Admin Hub at https://pfaccount-thepixelfarm.co.uk and re-download your entitlement token file. You can then copy this onto your machine, replacing your old file.
For dynamic entitlements, log in to your PFBucketd server and click the Re-Sync button. This will automatically download your new entitlement tokens and install them on your server.
