License Handling | Capacitor Barcode Scanner
License Key
In order to run the Scanbot SDK within your production app, you must purchase and use a valid Scanbot SDK license.
Each license key is valid only for a given app bundle identifier. You will be unable to use any of the SDK features if the license key is corrupted, expired, or invalid in any other way.
Getting a Trial license
The Scanbot SDK will run without a license for one minute per session! To get a free, "no-strings-attached" 7-day trial license, please submit the Trial License Form on our website.
Please kindly note that a trial license can only be used in a development and staging environment. You are not allowed to publish your app to the App Store, Play Store, or any 3rd party Android App Store with a trial license.
Purchase a Production License

Check License Status
If your Scanbot Barcode Scanner SDK license has expired, any call of the Scanbot Barcode Scanner SDK API will be canceled or rejected.
To prevent this, before every API call, you should validate the license by calling the method ScanbotBarcodeSDK.getLicenseInfo().
If the result returns result.data?.isLicenseValid !== true, you should disable any usage of the Scanbot Barcode Scanner SDK functions or UI components in your app.
We highly recommend implementing a suitable handling of this case in your app!

Updating the license in production apps
To renew an expired license or extend a valid license with new Scanbot Barcode SDK features, you will have to update your app in the App Store. The expiration date and the feature list of a license are contained in an encrypted data part of the license key string. This means a renewal or extension of a license will cause a new license key string to be generated.
