Frequently asked questions

Technical Questions

Does JxCapture support video streaming?

No, current version of JxCapture does not support streaming.

Is there desktop+webcam video capturing (mixed) mode available in JxCapture?

No, there is no such more in JxCapture product yet. This is the planned feature for one of the next versions.

Is it possible to capture the contents of a window that has been minimised?

No, capturing the contents of a minimized window is not possible.

Does JxCapture support Windows 2008 Server and Windows 2012 Server platforms?

Yes, JxCapture provides the support of these platforms. However, in order to enable video capturing ability in JxCapture, you may need to enable “Media Foundation” and "Desktop Experience" features on those platforms correspondingly.

Is there any utility in JxCapture so that I can capture the invisible areas of the window?

In fact capturing of the scrollable window contents greatly depends on an application itself, so there is no such utility available in JxCapture.

How do I configure the license?

Licensing Questions

What is your licensing based on?

Our licensing is based on versions of JxCapture. Having purchased the license for our product you get the right to use the current major version of the product.

How much does the Runtime License cost?

Runtime License is provided free of charge.

Can I receive a free upgrade?

Major and minor version upgrades issued during your active Standard Support subscription period are free of charge. Upon expiration of the Standard Support subscription you can renew it with a 25% discount from the actual license price.

What are the terms for using JxCapture?

Please take a look at the Product License Agreement.

There are 6 people on our team, and 2 of them need to use JxCapture. How many licenses do we need to purchase?

You only need to purchase 2 licenses. We license our library by the number of people who write code using our library.

If we take a developer, working with JxCapture, off the project, can we reassign the license to another developer?

This is possible with the Per Developer License.

How many copies of my product can I distribute with JxCapture included?

You can distribute unlimited number of copies of your product with our library enclosed.

We have 5 people, who work with JxCapture on one product.

You may want to purchase a Project License, which is cost-effective in case there are 3 and more developers on the team. The Project License is bound to a single project you do, but it allows any number of developers in your company to work with our library.

How is a Project License bound to my project?

Project License is bound to your project via a fully-qualified class name. A fully-qualified name for a class is the package name followed by the class name, separated by a period (.). For example: com.mycompany.myproduct.MyClass

Which class can be used for binding the license?

This can be any class of your application. The only requirement is that it should be included into your Java application class path.

What’s the definition of “project” in terms of the Project License?

When we say “project” we have in mind one product of your company including your future product versions or potential derivative works based on your product.

Will we be able to use the Project License in another project we do?

The Project License is tied to one project only.

We’d like a license for multiple projects for a team of developers, what would you offer?

The best solution would be to purchase the Company–wide License, which covers any number developers and projects in one company.

How do I find the license file?

Upon the license purchase you will receive a license archive with two types of JAR files: development.jar and runtime.jar. Development.jar is intended to be used in the development process. Runtime.jar is to be used for distribution of your software with JxCapture enclosed.

We need to look at the Source Code of JxCapture, do you provide it?

Yes, you can purchase JxCapture Source Code License; it is provided on a per developer basis. Please contact our sales team if you are interested in this option.

Thank you!
