FAQ: TBarCode/SAPwin - SAP Barcode DLL
After Licensing the Barcodes Are Still in Demo Mode
After Licensing the Barcodes Are Still in Demo Mode
Deployment
First install the Barcode DLL on the client (SAPgui) or on the server (SAPSprint) – depending on the way you print. More information about installation steps can be found in the user manual (please check it out).
After completing the setup, the barcode.ini file, which contains the license data must be copied into this location (the path is version dependent!):
C:\ProgramData\TEC-IT\TBarCode SAPwin\10
The ProgramData folder may be hidden in file explorer – but you can paste the path to the address bar and then you are there.
- You have to overwrite the default barcode.ini, which comes with the setup.
- For front-end printing using SAPgui: After you have exchanged the barcode.ini file, the SAPgui and all SAP programs must be completely terminated and restarted to import the changed license.
- For printing through SAPlpd: You have to restart SAPlpd to read in the new license.
Troubleshooting:
- The license key must match your main version (e.g. a key for version 9 can be used only with version 9 but not with version 10).
- Don’t copy the barcode.ini to the Windows directory or into the SAPSprint or SAPgui directory. Multiple barcode.ini files on the hard drive can lead to confusion and a mix of correct and incorrect license keys. Make sure that there is only one barcode.ini on the system and it is in the path we have shown above (path is version dependent). You can do a global file search to see if you have more barcode.ini files on the system.
- After each change of the barcode.ini file you need to restart SAPgui and SAPlpd (if you use them).
