Final comments about v7:
Fiery XF 7 is free of charge to all Fiery proServer and Fiery XF customers with their Fiery software covered under an EFI SMSA or ESP agreement. Version 7 requires an LAC (License Activation Code) to be activated. An LAC will be automatically created for entitled SMSA/ESP customers, and available through the Fiery XF 7 user interface after installation. Users need their existing dongle during the migration to version 7. The Fiery XF dongle is of no use afterwards due to the software-only protection that version 7 benefits from.
Customers not covered by one of these agreements need to purchase version 7 as an upgrade. EFI Inkjet Solutions customers can purchase an ESP software agreement to receive this upgrade.

Ordering Notes
SMSA
Customers automatically receive 1 YR SMSA, but can order a multiple year SMSA with any Fiery XF full version, upgrade or trade-in version license.
TradeIns
When ordering, customer must supply:
- a) the Dongle ID of Edition products from 1.0-4.2, Colorproof eXpress 3.5 or eXpress 4.1 -4.6.x or the EAC in case of Designer Edition v5.1 dongle less version OR
- b) the Dongle ID of the Best 5.0.1 product OR

You should also note: EFI processes your TradeIn order, holds back the invoice for 30 days until the return of the dongle (if any) / serial number and program CD. EFI simultaneously releases the shipment of the Fiery XF software. If EFI receives the returned dongle (if any) and program CD within 30 days, EFI invoices the trade-in to the regular trade in price. If EFI receives the returned dongle (if any) and program CD after 30 days, EFI invoices the trade-in for the full version price.
LACs and EAC license issues:
CHROMiX places your order for an upgrade at EFI specifying the Dongle ID of the Fiery XF product. EFI is going to create LACs matching the EAC licenses associated to that dongle ID and informs CHROMiX once the process is completed. The end user can then install Fiery XF 7, plug in the dongle ID and will be able to activate the LACs associated to that dongle ID.

A variety of EFI-sponsored and non-EFI sponsored training options are available, both remote and onsite. Ask CHROMiX Sales for a quote with options for your needs.
