# LumiScan Licensing

This manual explains how to license LumiScan software. It applies to every LumiScan product: the engineering apps (such as LumiScan Annotation Framework, LumiScan Training Framework and LumiScan VGR Engineering) and the runtimes and vision apps (such as LumiScan VGR, LumiScan CamDriver and the code readers).

The product manuals only state **which** licence a product needs. **How** to install, request, renew and move a licence is described here, once, for all products.

## Start here

1. Find your case in [Which Licensing Path Applies](https://docs.hdvisionsystems.com/en/lumiscan-licensing/1.0.3/which-licensing-path.html). It depends on where you bought the software and where it runs.
2. If your case uses the LumiScan Key, read [The LumiScan Key](https://docs.hdvisionsystems.com/en/lumiscan-licensing/1.0.3/lumiscan-key.html) and install [CodeMeter Runtime](https://docs.hdvisionsystems.com/en/lumiscan-licensing/1.0.3/installing-codemeter.html).
3. Follow the page for your licensing path.
