License Handling | Xamarin Document Scanner SDK

License Key

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 7-day trial license, please submit the trial license form.

Please note that a trial license may 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 third-party app store with a trial license.

Purchase a Production License

To get pricing information and purchase a production license for the Scanbot SDK, please request a quote.

Register License

Xamarin.Forms

// In your application class
const string licenseKey = "insert-license-here";

SBSDKInitializer.Initialize(application, licenseKey);

Xamarin Native

// In your application class
const string licenseKey = "insert-license-here";

SBSDK.Initialize(application, licenseKey);

Please also note: To renew an expired license or extend a valid license with new Scanbot SDK features, you will have to reinitialize the Scanbot SDK with the new updated license string. 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.
