How To License AR 3S

Licensing AR 3S (formerly known as ARES) is simple and intuitive. Once you've got your QR Code, generated from our Licensing Management Portal, you're almost done.

How-To Steps

• Create an account for the Licensing Management Portal
• Log in to the portal and navigate to the menu item License
  • There, your License QR Code will be displayed
• Launch the AR 3S app in Demo Mode and the Welcome Panel will appear
  • Tap Activate License and a new window will pop up
  • Click on the button reading Read License QR Code and you will be prompted to scan the aforementioned QR Code
• If you want to license AR 3S outside of the Welcome Panel, you have to follow these steps
  • Navigate to menu item License in the Settings
  • Click on the button reading Read License QR Code and you will be prompted to scan the aforementioned QR Code
• Once you have successfully licensed the app, in the licensing window the validity period should have updated and the license status should have been set to Full
• Alternatively, you can license AR 3S at a later point in time and work in demo mode for the time being

Having Troubles?

• The QR Code does not work despite correctly performing the steps above, if you do not have an active license
• In concrete terms, this means that you must first be registered for a (Trial) License by our Account Managers
• If you are interested in an active license, please reach out to us via our Contact Form!

Heed this for Smooth Use

• If the application has problems recognising the QR code, you can do the following
  • Make sure the QR Code is placed on a light, patternless surface
  • Ensure that there are good lighting conditions
