Ordinateur(s) de licence pour ZKTeco Face Matching

This article is going to describe how to license devices for ZKTeco face matching.

This is done on each device and should only have to be done once.

—–CRITICAL NOTE——

THIS PROCESS MUST BE DONE WITH ALL OF THE NETWORKING OPTIONS WHICH ARE GOING TO BE USED AT RUNTIME. SO IF YOU ARE GOING TO USE WIFI or BLUETOOTH, ENABLE THEM and UNDOCK THE DEVICE BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH LICENSE GENERATION.

—–CRITICAL NOTE——

Step 1: Install the FacePro Demo application.

This can be downloaded from here:

https://home.telaeris.com/upload/files/FaceProAndroid_debug_20221020-Ver1.4.apk

Step 2: Run the Face Pro Demo and Generate a license file

a) open Face Pro

b) Click the Menu and then Select License Management

c) Click “Generate Fingerprint to Internal Storage”

You should NOT press this button again.

It should say on the screen

Success, FileName：HARDWARE_ID.txt, Please download and authorize

This will put a file on the internal storage of your device with a long value and the extension .txt eg (02d76b1c8ff7726c156fc21cb7f97b944a3f6ef0985a.txt).

That long value is the Hardware ID of your device and will be different if you have Wifi/Cellular/Bluetooth/Ethernet on/off.

We will call this the “hardware_id.txt” file now.

d) Copy to PC and backup .txt and internal files.

Using a USB Cable, Copy the hardware_id.txt file to your PC. Also copy the contents of the /sdcard/facesdklicense/ folder and move that to a separate folder for each device. Keep the hardware_id.txt and facesdklicense folders associated together! These are the specific files on the device which must be backed up to restore this license for this hardware.

e) Get licenses issued

Get all the hardware_id.txt file’s for all devices and put them into a .zip to send to ZKTeco to get licenses issued for each device.

Step 3) Apply licenses

For each hardware_id.txt file you send, a corresponding hardware_id.lic file will be sent back. Copy that file back to the device via USB to the same location the hardware_id.txt file was in(/sdcard/hardware_id.txt is the normal location)

Open the Application again and go to License Management (step 2 A/B above)

Press the “Activate from File” button. You should see “Already Authorized” show up in the top like below.

You can now use the ZKTeco Face API with XPressEntry!
