ScanImage® License Manager

License File

ScanImage® Launch Screen

A ScanImage® 2020-2022 license file holds information such as the ScanImage® version and the support status available to the user. A license file is linked to a specific computer via the computer’s host ID.

License File Generation

There are two ways to retrieve a license file for ScanImage® depending on whether the ScanImage® PC is connected to the internet:

1. The ScanImage® computer has access to the Internet

   • Launch ScanImage

   • From the launch screen, log in with your vidriotech.com credentials

   • Select ‘Download License’

   • Select the license to be used with ScanImage® and click ‘Select License’.

2. The ScanImage® computer is offline

   • Use your credentials to log on to https://vidriotechnologies.com/my-account/

   • Select ‘Download License’

   • Fill out the form and select ‘Get License’. (See infobox below to retrieve host ID).

   • Select the license you want to use with ScanImage.

   • Copy the license text into a text file with the name ‘license.txt’.

Note

There are two ways to retrieve the computer’s host ID.

1. Launch ScanImage® - the host ID will be displayed on the launch screen

License File Storage

ScanImage® stores data in the folder C:\ProgramData\Vidrio\ScanImage\License

If this folder is not writeable, the license file and settings for the license manager cannot be stored. This folder can be deleted to remove all licensing information from the computer.

To transfer a license to a new computer, generate a new license file and delete ScanImage® and the old license file from the old computer. No deactivation is required.
