Support & documentation

As a special version of the Blender Creation Suite, the Blender Publisher will support professionals to publish content to the web and other media such as CDROM, utilizing the Blender stand-alone player or the Blender 3D Plug-in.

The 3D plug-in will be published by NaN for free download. However, usage of this program, or of the stand-alone Player, will be limited both by functionality and by the license. Commercial and professional usage will require purchasing the Publisher product.

Blender Publisher gives you access to the products described briefly in the next sections.

The Key

This is a small file that has to be installed on each system the owner is licensed to. Without this Key file, the special Blender Publisher features won't work. A Key file contains information about the owner and compression and encryption codes. Therefore, it is important to fill in the correct ownership name (company or individual) when you purchase the Publisher. Ownership cannot be transferred to others. For site licenses, only one key is generated by NaN. This is to enable groups working together, with the same encryption/decryption codes and identical signatures. The key will be valid for all Blender Publisher 2.xx releases.
