Standard and Advanced
The code readers (Aztec, Barcode, DMC, QR) and the Text Reader are available as Standard and Advanced:
-
An Advanced licence is always used together with a Standard licence. To run an app with Advanced functions, you need both.
-
If an Advanced licence is available, the app uses it automatically.
-
A module gets its tier when it is created. A newly added Advanced licence applies to modules created afterwards, or to all modules after a restart.
-
By default, if the Advanced licence is no longer available while the app is running, the app continues with Standard functions. The setting
licenseFallbackin thesystemsection of the app configuration can change this (USE_BASIC,SKIP,STOP_APP).

For software bought from HD Vision Systems, all licences are held on the LumiScan Key:
-
Engineering apps: annual subscription, renewed with a licence update (see Renewing Engineering Licences).
-
Runtimes and vision apps: one-time purchase, no renewal.
