Using this kit, you can get a license key from the License Management System (LMS) and register it in an
iR/imageRUNNER to activate the specific feature included in the System Software.
Note:What's LMS?
A license server system to activate software options of iRs/imageRUNNERs, provided by Canon Inc. Col-
lectively manages options in the form of licenses and protects copy rights of optional products. The op-
tions are activated with license keys being different from conventional activation measures that use
dongles and PCs. Whereas the details of its management differ among countries and regions, it is designed
assuming the users access it and activate licenses by themselves respectively. Per optional product, the
license access number certificate sheet is supplied. Per license access number, a user can get a license key
and activate the feature on an iR/imageRUNNER. To get a license key, a user accesses the Web server of
the LMS.

When a user enters the license access number and the serial number for an iR/imageRUNNER in the LMS,
24-digit figure of a license key is generated. The license key includes the information of serial number for
the iR/imageRUNNER so that the key cannot be used for iRs/imageRUNNERs. Once the option is acti-
vated, the option information is saved as the backup in the iR/imageRUNNER. Parts replacement will not
deactivate the feature.
The staff in each regional headquarters can access the administrator's pages of the LMS. They can view
the license number issued for each iR/imageRUNNER and can reissue the license. The procedures are the
same as the license management system for MEAP except for the point the license key is used instead of
the license file.
Transfer of a License
An optional function that has been enabled by the LMS may be used on a different device by transferring
its license, as when the original iR device needs to be replaced, say at the end of its lease arrangement.
Specifically, individual licenses registered for optional functions must first be invalidated in Addtional
Functions before transfer may take place. Doing so will invalidate the optional functions on the source iR
device and, at the same time, proof of invalidation will be generated within the device in the form of an
invalidation license key. The user may then communicate the indicated invalidation license key, the serial
number of the original iR device, and the serial number of the new iR device to the Sales Company, which
in turn may issue a new license key for the new iR device. The user now may register the new license key
to the new iR device in Addtional Functions, thereby enabling the optional function on the new iR device.
For details of transferring a license in service mode, see the descriptions of service mode that come later.
