Symbol for Windows - licensing

Licensing SfW means that you get a right to use some or all of its applications and libraries in full mode instead of demo mode. When you are 'purchasing' SfW (or any other software), you are usually paying for licenses - the ownership of the software is not transferred. The most common to license Symbol for Windows applications and libraries is toask for serial code licenses which are specific to a certain computer. If you have a computer network in use and you would like to use SfW over the network on workstations, SfW network version would be the right choice. If you need full versions occasionally on different computers, the licenses could be programmed on a USB dongle which looks like a USB memory stick. Once the SfW software is installed and the dongle connected to the USB port, SfW applications and libraries recognise automatically the dongle and the licenses programmed on it.

If you are interested in network version, site specific licenses or any other special arrangement, please contact your dealer for a special offer.
