Upgrade your Barcode Reader license using the provided URP file and a USB device

Context

This article explains how to activate or upgrade the license of your Robotiq Barcode Reader using the Barcode License Upgrader tool. The process uses a URP file and a USB device to complete the activation on your Universal Robots teach pendant.

Use this procedure if you’ve purchased a license upgrade or need to activate a new Barcode Reader license.

Prerequisites

Steps

  1. Download the license upgrader

  2. Copy the license upgrader at the root of an empty USB stick

  3. To run the license upgrader, insert the USB stick in a USB port on the robot. A license request will be generated on the USB stick

    • Various messages will appear on the teach pendant during the license upgrade request process. You will be able to remove the USB stick when this message will appear: License request generated, you can now unplug the license upgraded

    • If you have more than one robot that needs a license upgrade, you can re-use the same USB stick as many time as necessary

  4. A file will be generated on the USB stick, named licenserequest_x-xxxxxxx.txt

    • Send this file to support@robotiq.com Our support team will generate a file named licenseunlock.txt and send it back to you as soon as possible

  5. When you receive the licenseunlock.txt file, copy it on the root of the USB stick containing the license upgrader file

    • If you don't have it anymore, refer to step 1 & 2

  6. Insert the USB key into the desired robot. The license upgrader will run and upgrade your Wrist Camera License dongle

    • If you try to use the licenseunlock.txt file on a robot for which you have not previously done the steps 3 & 4, it will not work. Upgrade the robots for which these steps have been done then start from step 1 for robots that needs a license upgrade request

      Conclusion

      Once the upgrade is complete, your Robotiq Barcode Reader is ready to use with the new license level. You can now proceed with scanning operations as needed.
