Software Activation Code and Registration Key
Please note that the Software Activation Code you received from your authorized BadgeMaker dealer should be used on the register.screencheck.com website to obtain a Registration Key. Only this registration key can be used to gain access to the BadgeMaker software.

Administrator rights required
To install BadgeMaker release 7.1 on your PC, you should make sure you have administrator rights on your pc. Otherwise the installation will be aborted and cannot be completed successfully.

In case you are running BadgeMaker 6400 V7.1 under Windows Vista, you require administrator rights in Windows Vista to create new projects and/or to add data in BadgeMaker 6400. Under Windows XP, you can create and access the project file with your regular login. However, if a project has been created while having access to the pc as an administrator, administrator rights are required hereinafter to make mutations to this specific project.

Installation without internet connection
If there is no internet connection available on the PC of BadgeMaker installation, you should install the software on the computer as usual. When starting the software, you should note the hardware fingerprint. This fingerprint can be forwarded to your local reseller, and they will register for you instead. The registration key generated will be emailed to you directly or to your reseller to be provided to you by phone.

Adding plug-ins
If you are using BadgeMaker release 7.1 already and want to add a plug-in for example Mifare encoding, you will be supplied with a separate SAC (Software Activation Code) for the specific plug-in and can then register online.

Wrong email address
If you entered the wrong email address during the software registration, you can go to the register.screencheck.com site again and re-enter the Software Activation Code (SAC). A message will be displayed indicating that this SAC is already in use, but you can provide a different email address to which the registration key will be resend. NOTE: this will NOT create a new registration, so the registration will only work on the computer with the hardware fingerprint that is used with the initial registration attempt.

PC crash or moving software to another PC
In these cases the registration has to be reactivated. Please contact the helpdesk team of your local distributor for further assistance.
