SDK 2 et Premium SDK
The Premium SDK is not a replacement for the SDK 2*, which remains available for download, compatible with all Evolis printers and is supported and maintained by Evolis.
If your installed printer base is managed using the Evolis SDK 2, you may choose to keep your current configuration.
Migration from the SDK 2 to the Premium SDK is recommended for the latest generation of Evolis printers, and if you would like to benefi t from the features offered by the Evolis Premium Suite (in particular the supervision service).
For advice and assistance on how to customize your specific application, please contact Evolis Services.
*SDK 2 refers to the SDK 2.1 and above (2.x)
