Differentiating Features by Edition
Please note, there are two types of Omniscope file. Both file types have identical functionality, but permit different approaches to sharing, publishing and refreshing data. DataPlayer files exported from Omniscope are standard Flash .SWF files that can be interactive in any browser and most common document formats.
 | | .IOK files created with Professional, DataPlayer & Enterprise Editions are publishable to anyone using the free Omniscope Viewer. Files made with commercial publishing licenses can be distributed to paying customers and refreshed in the free Viewer in real-time over the Internet. |
| | | |
 | | .IOM files (the only format Standard Edition creates) can be opened only with activated Standard, Professional & Enterprise Editions, but not the free Omniscope Viewer. Files made with commercial publishing licenses can be refreshed to Standard Editions in real-time over the Internet. |
