Initialize SDK Instance
To access all the capabilities of the Document Reader SDK, you need to initialize it with a proper hardware or software Regula license. The hardware license is bound to the device's unique ID, while the software one is generated based on your technical environment setup (where SDK is actually executed). Both hardware and software license types work offline, that means you can install and update them locally.
For all the extensive details, see the Document Reader SDK Licensing article or contact us directly to discuss your concrete case.
Congrats! 🎉
Regula Document Reader SDK is successfully installed and initialized.
