Licensing Model


You have to activate your ScannerVision installation before you can create fully functional templates or run the ScannerVision Processing Server without limitation.

ScannerVision includes a rich set of features as standard but there are several features and connectors that can be purchased separately. A ScannerVision license can be tailored to your specific needs. Your license is tied to the license key you received with your purchase. If you have not received a license key or have lost it please contact your reseller. This license key will not change with future changes to your license.

License Manager

The ScannerVision License Manager is where you can manage and view the specifics of your license. License activation can be done in either online or offline mode. In the online mode, all you need to do is to enter your serial number, click the “Verify” button to confirm the license is valid, and then click the “Activate” button. The License Manager will contact the ScannerVision license portal and retrieve your specific license file.

In the offline mode, you need to create a server information file which you will then have to send to either the ScannerVision Support or Licensing departments. You will then be provided with a license activation file that you must copy to the ScannerVision server from where you can can activate your license. Detailed steps to do this are discussed in the Offline Activation section.

We recommend that you use the online activation as it is much easier and quicker than the offline process. You could temporarily connect your server to the Internet while you activate your license and then disconnect it afterward. A permanent Internet connection is not required for ScannerVision to function, but one would be required for online activation.
