Third Party Workflow Unable to Connect to Print Console 1.0

  checkbox.gif (459 bytes)  Tested   uncheckbox.gif (229 bytes)  Not Tested


Applies to

Systems that have installed Print Console v1.0.4 (either the patch files or a full install from the Production CD) and connect directly to a third-party workflow/RIP via CRI (i.e. Rampage, Delta).

Problem

Third-party workflow that connects directly to Print Console via a CRI cannot connect after loading Print Console 1.0.4.

Background

Print Console 1.0.4 (the current shipping version of Print Console 1.0) uses the tiffdownloader.exe that was created for Print Console 2.0. This file uses a driver called “ctprip.dll” to check the registry for a valid CRI License Key is in the registry.

Since it was designed for use with Print Console 2.0, it looks for the CRI License Key based on the registry structure of v2.0, not v1.x. When it can't find the License Key, it does not allow the third party to connect.

The patch referred to below moves the License Key from...

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Creo/PrintConsole/v1.0/Allegro /CtpwsConfig

to...

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Creo/PrintConsole/v2.0/System Config/CRILicenseKey.


Workaround

No workaround availabe.

 


Permanent Fix

Enter a valid CRI License Key in the Print Console GUI and then apply the CRI Licence Key patch from the Print Console Downloads page.
