CardExchange® Producer has support for Mifare® encoding, Biometric devices and ID scanners. We are using Microsoft's XPS print engine to support the latest printing standards, however not all ID card printer manufacturers supply drivers that support XPS technology.

Our Trial Edition offers you unlimited access to all available functionality within our editions for a 42 day period. When you have installed CardExchange® Producer for the first time, just check the Evaluate box and select the edition that you want to try out.

We offer the possibility to try out all of the available editions. You can find more information about the offered functionality per edition on our website.

When you have made your selection from the drop down menu, simply click on OK to start your trial and use all functionality offered. The only limitation of the Trial is that it prints a DEMO watermark on the card. The nice part is, when you have configured, designed, connect to databases, etc., and you wish to purchase a license, you simply activate it, and you keep on working. Nothing needs to be redone!
