License

The ArchivistaBox falls under the GNU General Public License (Version 2). All versions of the ArchivistaBox are published pursuant to the GPL licence, i.e. the open source Edition is 100% the same in its make up as every commercial ArchivistaBox.

Usage

ArchivistaBox comes with a web-based user interface and is set up with a few mouse clicks whether a single workstation is concerned or a storage cluster. No further software is needed. Document scanners, multi function copiers and internal services can be connected any time. The integrated print server (CUPS), for example, converts spool files automatically into an archive friendly format and sends them to the database where they remain in absolutely audit proof storage.

Building

The software published under a Free Software license does not include the build scripts or instructions that would allow rebuilding the live CD.
