"Plagiarism Detector" usage issues / Re: Plagiarism Detector against directory of files? Size limit?
« on: April 03, 2014, 02:23:32 PM »
Dear Sir,
I have contacted our RnD and they promptly responded with a little update.
Please install and try out the following:
http://78.47.128.158/pdc_setup_generic_839.exe
(this will be soon released as an update)
Core version is 839.
This must work without a pre-start freeze.
--
"Local check" contained a bug (some debug source code) that resulted in a freeze before the
actual check started. In this update this code is completely removed, thus making this stage must faster.
The bug itself was an accumulative one - more files, more freeze. The less performing machine - the more freeze time.
The less RAM - the more freeze time.
We have tested in against 11000 sources vs 1 single file case,
with resulting check ETA = 14 minutes. On a relatively powerful desktop with HDD Drive.
--
Looking forward to your feedback!

"Plagiarism Detector" usage issues / Re: Plagiarism Detector against directory of files? Size limit?
« on: April 03, 2014, 12:13:16 AM »
Several point covered that you may find useful:
1. "I am trying to compare a document against a rather large directory of other word documents." - we strongly advise to try out our product PDAS (http://www.plagiarism-detector.com/plagiarism-detector-accumulator-server-demo-download.php). It was developed to resolve your particular task - comparison to large amount of documents in minimal time.
The difference between two methods is the following:
- "Folder Check" in PDC alway takes linear time e.g.:
- PDAS (Plagiarism Detector Accumulator Server) check will be around minimal, fixed time irrespective the number of documents in the Database e.g.:
02. "The system locks up every time" - could you specify the exact moment this happens?
I've already sent your complaint to our RnD dpt so that will look into this.
03. "I need to know what the directory size limits are?"
At the moment there exists no limits. PDC recursively locates all the files within the target folder and starts comparison in "one-by-one" manner
aggregating the results. Putting it shortly PDC will check ALL found files.
04. "How many documents can this system compare a document against?" As many as you need. The time will grow in a linear manner though. Using PDAS is strongly advised.

Feel free to as any additional questions!

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions / Difference in cost between individual and institutional licensing
« on: November 13, 2013, 02:42:00 PM »
Our pricing varies greatly.
For individual usage we have fixed pricing for each product:
Plagiarism Detector: http://www.plagiarism-detector.com/plagiarism-detector-buy-now.php
Plagiarism Detector Accumulator Server: http://www.plagiarism-detector.com/plagiarism-detector-accumulator-server-subscriptions.php
Institutional licenses start from 500 (subject to change, we decide for each client separately) usd and up to 15000 (subject to change, we decide for each client separately) usd.
We form quotes for each quote request individually.
What is the difference?
- You can purchase an individual license for your personal needs.
- If you use our products in your organization or for business purposes - you need to apply for an institutional license.
- What happens if you purchase Individual license and use it in business scope?
- Our products report statistics per each user. We may cancel your license if we detect the violation of your policies.
Why so different?
- Our products are heavily used in institutions that generate profit, laterally - our products are involved.
- Our products are used by multiple users.
- We do provide quality support.
- These are mostly single-time purchase licenses, in most cases they are cheaper than subscription based ones if you consider longer periods of time.
Lastly - our prices are competitive. They are not big, really.

"Silver Bullets" / RDP session and Plagiarism Detector
« on: October 31, 2013, 07:05:11 PM »
RDP session is supported only in Plagiarism Detector Pro.
But you need to manually configure PD to work correctly during RDP logoff.
You need manually make changes to main_config.xml file located typically:
"C:\Users\[user_name]\AppData\Roaming\Plagiarism Detector\main_config.xml"
You need to set: b_IgnoreSessionChange parameter to TRUE.
Otherwise Plagiarism Detector will terminate on RDP session disconnect.

"Silver Bullets" / Avoiding "Resource Processing Timeouts" error.
« on: October 10, 2013, 01:57:51 AM »
Plagiarism Detector has a default timeout of 30 seconds for a single resource processing.
A failure may occur if it does not have enough time to process a resource.
Resource processing includes:
1. Download resource.
2. Extract plain text.
3. Compare it with the checked document.
1 and 3 stages are time consuming.
This error may be caused by:
1. Slow Internet connection (low bandwidth).
2. Resource overload.
3. Resource is big (large amounts of text).
If Plagiarism Detector fails to process a resource in the alloted time period it will increment special counter in the main window:
And a special warning will be displayed if more than 10 resources timeouted:
To resolve this problem you can try to do the following:
1. Make sure no other application is using your bandwidth, and if so - unload it (torrent clients, on-line films\music, games etc.).
2. Increase Resource Processing timeout in Plagiarism Detector: Settings->Core Config->"Single Resource Processing Timeout" in seconds.
3. Decrease the number of simultaneously used workers for Resource Processing: Settings->Core Config->"REP Threads". Set it to 1 thread.
4. Investigate the exact status of the resource in Web Browser.
5. If none of the above helps - contact us!
