Ranger Licensing / Ranger license unlocking: I re...
Last post by bclark - December 02, 2020, 05:52:33 AM
Ranger uses a "node locked" licensing model.  When a Ranger license is first unlocked, it is bound to the PC hardware. 
Once a Ranger license is unlocked, the license cannot be later moved to a different PC.

If you would like to install a Ranger license on a different PC, you will need a new unbound Ranger license.

Ranger licenses can unlocked an unlimited number of times ask long as:

  • The Ranger product key/license is unlocked on the same computer hardware again-and-again.

  • Ranger annual software maintenance fee is paid-up and is up-to-date.

If you reinstall Windows, install a Windows update, or similar situations, the registry entries that Ranger use were likely removed.

If the PC has not changed, you can use the normal Ranger license unlock procedure to restore Ranger's license registry entries.

These are the most common Ranger licensing unlock scenarios, with links to additional information:

  • Scenario: You have a new license, and you are unlocking it for the first time.

  • Scenario: You reinstalled Windows or performed a factory reset on your workstation.

Ranger is a tool that software vendors use to speed their software development and testing tasks.

Since Ranger is one small piece of the total scanning application, Ranger licenses and Ranger software usually come from your scanning software vendor.

The reasons for this are straight-forward:
1. Only your software vendor knows which version of Ranger they tested their application(s) with, before releasing it.
2. Software vendors usually manage the licenses for all software subcomponents that their applications require, including Ranger licenses.

If you need a Ranger license, or are having trouble unlocking your Ranger software, or need to download Ranger software, please contact your scanning software vendor for help.

Best regards,

Ranger is a tool that software vendors use to speed their software development and testing tasks.

If you are a programmer at a software company:

  • Please use your Ranger SDK credentials to login to our website and download the Ranger software you require.

If you are someone else:

  • Please contact your scanning software vendor for help.

Background:
Since Ranger is one small piece of the total scanning application, Ranger licenses and Ranger software usually come from your scanning software vendor.

The reasons for this are straight-forward:
1. Only your software vendor knows which version of Ranger they tested their application(s) with, before releasing it.
2. Software vendors usually manage the licenses for all software subcomponents that their applications require, including Ranger licenses.

If you need a Ranger license, or are having trouble unlocking your Ranger software, or need to download Ranger software, please contact your scanning software vendor for help.  You software vendor will contact our team, if they encounter a technical problem.

Best regards and happy scanning!

1. Open a Windows "run" prompt by pressing the Windows key + R
      or
    Search for "Run" in the Start Menu

2. At the Run prompt, type in "regedit" and click OK

3. You may be prompted by Windows to allow the registry editor to make changes; choose "Yes."

4. On the left hand side of the screen, there will be a "Tree" menu.
   
    In that tree, look for:

    32-bit Windows - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Silver Bullet Technology\Installed Products\Components
      or
    64-bit Windows - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Silver Bullet Technology\Installed Products\Components

5. You should be able to find your Ranger product key by examining the folders.  Look for a 25-character code in this format:
   
     XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-X

That is your Ranger product key.
