Requirements
Software License
Software License
• Online license for CGS ORIS software, or alternatively:
• Software protection dongle for USB port (at additional cost)
• Additional licenses for optional features
If started without a valid software license, the CGS ORIS program runs as
a 30-day fully functional demo version. After the 30-day trial period has
expired, output is no longer possible.
During the trial period there are the following limitations:
• Color tables created in demo mode cannot be used with a licensed CGS
ORIS program version.
• Watermarks are added arbitrarily.
• Optional features that require an additional license are unavailable.
• COLOR TUNER and FLEX PACK: You can output on one printer only.
Firewall Setup
License and maintenance information are verified using a secure SSL
connection to the CGS ORIS license server www.orislicensing.com.
Please ensure that the CGS ORIS license server is accessible via HTTPS
port 443 and is not blocked by your company’s firewall. If necessary, adjust
your firewall settings and add the server URL to the firewall’s whitelist.
Ensuring the accessibility of the license server is crucial as it enables the
CGS ORIS program to automatically notify you of software updates and
allows you to download and install them seamlessly.
User Permissions
Installing the CGS ORIS program requires administrative privileges. There
are two options:
• Before running the CGS ORIS installation program, log in to Windows
as a user with administrative rights.
• Start the installation program as a standard user. You will be prompted
to enter administrative user credentials.

Measuring on Virtual Machines
■ Problem
You have installed COLOR TUNER, FLEX PACK, PRESS MATCHER
or X GAMUT on a virtual machine. This is an emulation of a particular
computer system created by such tools as VMWare.
If an X-Rite measurement device is installed on a virtual machine, there is
no guarantee that it can be connected or that it works correctly. It has been
found that identical installations of a virtual machine may work for some
users and not for others. X-Rite say:
■ Solution
Connect your measurement using a USB-to-network device such as USB
Device Server from SEH Computertechnik GmbH. This solution has been
tested successfully by CGS ORIS.
USB Device Server is a hardware-based solution for integrating USB
devices into a computer network. It supports virtualized environments such
as VMWare.
Currently there are two USB Device Server models available:
• utnserver Pro with 2 USB ports
• utnserver ProMAX with 4 USB ports

Install Driver for Measurement Device
Measuring on Virtual Machines
Integrate the USB Device Server into your network and connect the
measurement device to one of its USB ports.
Also install SEH UTN Manager on the virtual machine. Using this soft-
ware you can assign the USB port of the USB Device Server to the virtual
machine. You can then use the measurement device as if it was connected
directly to the virtual machine.
For more details check out the SEH website seh-technology.com.

If the CGS ORIS program should be able to process jobs residing in
shared network folders or to write files to such locations, make sure
everyone has full access to these folders. In addition, change the
name of the Windows service for the CGS ORIS program to run under
the local SYSTEM user account.
Print data calculations, file output and other background processes are
handled by a Windows service named ORIS Color Tuner Service, ORIS
Flex Pack Service, ORIS Press Matcher Service or ORIS X Gamut Service,
respectively. For security reasons, this service runs under a separate
Windows user account named ORIS-Service.
The ORIS Color Tuner Service, ORIS Flex Pack Service, ORIS Press
Matcher Service or ORIS X Gamut Service does not have the permission
to access any network folders. As a consequence, the following actions are
likely to fail owing to insufficient access rights:
