Once registered NXPowerLite for File Servers will replace PDF and Office documents and image files with smaller versions to reclaim space in the configured folders or drives. Our simple and quick setup process requires no hardware downtime.
Configure using the following steps and recommendations
When you purchased NXPowerLite you would have been sent an email containing your registration details. This consists of a Registered Name and a 16-digit Registration Key. To unlock NXPowerLite so that it can replace files:
- Open the NXPowerLite for File Servers Dashboard
- Under the Help menu item select Register...
- Enter your registration detail exactly as they were supplied to you.
When folders or drives are selected they will have default Files to include and Settings profiles. It is possible to customize both of these.
For example, a Files to include profile may be set to skip PowerPoint files or a Settings profile may be set to apply different JPEG quality settings.
For more information, please see the Files to include and Settings sections in the included help documents
This is a global schedule that controls when the software is processing files and when it is paused. By default, the schedule is set to run continuously, however it is possible to create a schedule profile to control when the software is run. For example, you may want to run the software at weekends only.
Currently, individual schedules cannot be applied to specific folders
NXPowerLite for File Servers relies on the underlying NXPowerLite File Server Windows Service in order to process files. By default, the service uses the Local System Account which is unlikely to have the permissions required to access all of the folders and drives that will be configured on the Dashboard.
Ensure the service is configured with an account that has full access to all the folders and drives configured. See Configuring the NXPowerLite Windows Service for more details.
