License Manager

To display only the features present on a particular device, select one or more filters from the SmartDocs bar below.

Queries from MX are not supported on Zebra devices running Android 11 or later. See alternative method.

Overview

The License Manager (LicenseMgr) CSP administers the software licenses on a device, allowing an administrator or app running on the device to control the usability of software features that require licensing. Software components can be made usable, unusable or feature-limited based on the license. If a component requires licensing, the absence of a valid license will limit or prevent its functionality. Software components that do not require licensing are not effected by this CSP.

The licensing process has changed for Android 13. See video, below.

License Acquisition

Software licenses are acquired from a Zebra Software License Server. They are issued as Software License Files and are associated with specific software components through the use of Licensed Feature Names. A Software License File can be used only to enable use of its associated Licensed Feature Name. A component can have multiple capabilities, each controlled through separate Licensed Feature Names. Alternatively, a component can have all of its capabilities controlled through a single Licensed Feature Name.

Software Licenses acquired from a Zebra Software License Server may be Individual Device Licenses, with each Software License File tied to a specific device serial number. In such cases, it is necessary to apply the right Software License File to each matching device. The Zebra Software License Server also provides Enterprise Licenses, which are issued to all devices owned by an enterprise. In such cases, the same Software License File can be applied to each device owned by that enterprise.

License Verification

Software License Files are acquired from the Zebra Software License Server, stored locally or online, and referenced through the LicenseMgr. However, the server does not verify whether such files are matched to a particular Licensed Feature. If a valid Software License File is wrongly applied to Licensed Feature other than the intended feature, that feature is enabled and no error results.

To prevent this, Zebra recommends using the Verification Method parameter (below) to verify that Licensed Feature Name(s) match those contained in the Software License File(s). This causes an error to be returned in the Result XML in the event of a mismatch.

Preactivated License Restrictions

  • Preactivated Licenses are valid only on the day they are generated.
  • If multiple Preactivated Licenses are generated, they must be applied in the same order as generated.
  • Preactivated Licenses must be applied BEFORE all other License Actions.
  • If combining the application of Activation IDs and Preactivated Licenses in the same configuration Profile, Preactivated Licenses MUST be applied first.

Applying a Software License on a device makes the specific capabilities of that Software Component usable on that device. Removing a license makes the controlled capability unusable or limits its features.

Shown if: License Choice is set to "Symbol"

Parm Name: LicenseAction

Option Name Description Note Status Requires

Verification Method

Controls whether to verify that the Licensed Feature Name specified in the Standard or Custom Feature Name parameters matches the contents of the Software License File. Zebra recommends using this parameter to help prevent license-feature mismatch.

Software License Files are acquired from the Zebra Software License Server, stored locally or online and referenced through the LicenseMgr. The sever does not verify whether such files are matched to a particular Licensed Feature. If a valid Software License File is wrongly applied to Licensed Feature other than the intended one, the feature will not be enabled and no error will result. The Verification Method parameter prevents this scenario by verifying that Licensed Feature Name(s) match those contained in the Software License File(s) and otherwise generates an error in the Result XML.

Shown if: The License Action is "Symbol" and License Choice is "Symbol"

Parm Name: VerifyMethod

Option Name Description Note Status Requires
0 Do not verify feature name This value (or the absence of this parm from the XML) causes no change to the verification method; any previously selected setting is retained.

MX: 4.3+

1 Verify against a standard feature name Verifies that the Licensed Feature Name contained within the specified Software License File matches a specified Standard Licensed Feature Name.

MX: 4.3+

2 Verify against a custom feature name Verifies that the Licensed Feature Name contained within the specified Software License File matches a specified Custom Licensed Feature Name.

MX: 4.3+

Standard Feature Name

Used to enter the Standard Licensed Feature Name against which to verify the Software License File.

NOTE: Currently, there exists a single defined Standard Licensed Feature Name, that of the SimulScan OCR/OMR feature. Selecting it avoids the need to enter the exact (custom) value of the Licensed Feature Name. To verify other features, use the "Verify Custom Name" and enter the Licensed Feature Name to match the Software License File being used.

Shown if: The License Action is "Symbol" and License Choice is "Symbol"

Parm Name: VerifyStandardFeatureName

Option Name Description Note Status Requires
1 SIMULDC1_0_0 Verifies that the SimulScan OCR/OMR Licensed Feature Name contained in the Software License File matches the Standard Licensed Feature Name of the SimulScan software component.

MX: 4.3+

Custom Feature Name

Used to enter a Custom Licensed Feature Name, which must match exactly the Licensed Feature Name contained within the Software License File acquired from Zebra Software License Server.

NOTE: This option must be used to verify any Licensed Feature Name other than those contained in the list of Standard Licensed Feature Names. The Licensed Feature Name must be entered exactly as acquired from the Zebra Software License Server with identical case and without any additional whitespace or other characters.

Parm value input rules:

  • String with a valid Custom Licensed Feature Name that was contained within a Software License File acquired from the Zebra Software License Server

Shown if: The Verify Method is "Verify against a custom feature name" and License Choice is "Symbol"

Parm Name: VerifyCustomFeatureName

Requires:

  • MX: 4.3+

License Method

Used to enter the method of supplying the Software License.

The Embed value (option 1) indicates that the contents of the Software License File is embedded into the Request XML. To use this option, the Base64-encoded contents of the Software License File acquired from the Zebra Software License Server must be Base64-encoded a second time by the MDM Agent before being embedded this Request XML document. NOTE: Although it increases the data size, this option offers the advantage of a self-contained Request XML.

The Reference value (option 2) indicates that a Software License File, which must be present in the device file system, is referenced by its path and file name. Note: This option requires that the Software License File be transferred to the device file system before the Request XML is submitted, and requires specification of the exact path and file name of the Software License File in the device. If the license should be applied after an Enterprise Reset, the license file must be stored in a persistent location such as the /enterprise directory.

NOTE: Regardless of the method used to supply the Software License File (Embed or Reference), the supplied Software License File must contain valid contents acquired from the Zebra Software License Server. An attempt to apply a Software License File that contains invalid contents will result in an error in the Result XML. In addition, if the Software License File was an Individual Device License, the device serial number embedded in the Software License File must match the serial number of the device onto which it is being applied. Any attempt to apply a mismatched license will generate an error in the Result XML.

Shown if: The License Action is "Symbol" and License Choice is "Symbol"

Parm Name: LicenseMethod
