Free Developer Support

We provide free "no-strings-attached" developer support for the implementation & testing of the Scanbot SDK. If you encounter technical issues with integrating the Scanbot SDK or need advice on choosing the appropriate framework or features, please visit our Support Page.

The Scanbot Barcode Scanner SDK must be initialized before usage.

In order to activate the license in the code use the +[Scanbot setLicense:] method of the Scanbot class. Execute this code as early as possible during your app's runtime, but at least before using any Scanbot SDK functionality, e.g. in your application class (AppDelegate).

If your license has expired, any invocation of the Scanbot Barcode SDK API will not work. You can check for license expiration during runtime by using the +[Scanbot isLicenseValid] method.

Example code for setting the license key string:

Swift

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {

    Scanbot.setLicense(
      "hiasVhl+q8EgpnDaCEjzDPgp6ex91j" +
      "y6nLK60knb5DGnaMbxnx3pO7jrML5H" +
      "5E6t1XGJ6tFsQm9mm+hSfVnetqEhe4" +
      "VNfXzi/lFYpWT8ICQ1c7YbZbAeyPXc" +
      "D/IcDaRz1vxS85aOL0tbYXynBzvkSx" +
      "mMyFDaL/obrke4h+sonCbLauUA7yXX" +
      "yWlT3gZujS6/a+SzhzpB+7+lCd+Y52" +
      "GBvOsg+h8JfieM/oFzCUZrSazOEusU" +
      "EyOewKLDiOdNqgJpAGK1hF1nQwhcr7" +
      "PysYuECotHSE6NQ2vWJ6RqOz974prq" +
      "EIjEhdprY62qD2pip2MbBHgKYL69DQ" +
      "bFAgyNfSWNtg==\nU2NhbmJvdFNESw" +
      "ppby5zY2FuYm90LmV4YW1wbGUuc2Rr" +
      "LmRlbW8KMTU0NjM4NzE5OQo1MTIKMQ" +
      "==\n")

    return true
}
