  • Mac OS X or Windows – A suitable operating system is necessary for the Adobe Illustrator CC version being used.
  • Adobe Illustrator CC – A suitable version that is compatible with the Plug-in installation package being used.
  • Network connection to the PMS/ZuniComm server – Ports 8081 and 8989 must be addressable and accessable.
  • Installation package – The appropriate installation package can be obtained from Durst Customer Service.

Installing multiple instances of the Plug-in

The availability of the Plug-in is managed by the license installed on the Workflow and therefore the Plug-in can be installed on any machine. The Plug-in does not require individual activation, so an unlimited number of Plug-in instances are available.
