Licensing

Licensing

A license is needed to use the Signature SDK and there are different requirements depending on the platform. Licenses are supplied as text strings in the JSON Web Token (JWT) format and must be included in your application code.

Windows

The standard Windows Signature SDK can be used free of charge and a license is made available with the sample code. See Getting Started in the GitHub samples:

https://github.com/Wacom-Developer/sdk-for-signature-windows/blob/master/GETTING-STARTED.md

Extended functions require a customer specific license and these include:

• ISO signature format support
• Signature encryption
• Signature capture using non-Wacom devices

To obtain a commercial license you will need to contact your local sales representative – see below.

Mobile – Android

For initial development download an evaluation license from the developer website as follows:

• Open the Developer Dashboard: https://developer.wacom.com/developer-dashboard. To open the page you will need to login with your Wacom ID
• Select Licences to display the License Keys page
• Click New Evaluation License: The licenses expire after 3 months but can be renewed at any time by revisiting the license key page.

To obtain a commercial license you will need to contact your local sales representative – see below.

In addition to supplying your Wacom ID you will need to provide your application ID when contacting sales:

OS	Description
Android	Application IDs should match the android.defaultConfig.applicationId, found in the build.gradle file.

Downloading a Commercial License

Once a commercial license has been arranged through Wacom Sales follow these steps to download the license:

• Open the Developer Dashboard: https://developer.wacom.com/developer-dashboard To open the page you will need to login with your Wacom ID
• Select Licences to display the License Keys page
• Licenses created by Sales will be listed on the page and can be downloaded using the Download icon provided.

Contacting Sales

The price of commercial licenses is beyond the scope of this document and will need to be discussed with your regional Wacom Sales representative. To make initial contact use the Contact Sales link on the developer website: https://developer.wacom.com

Having submitted the contact form with your details you will then be able to communicate directly with a sales representative in your region.

License Management

License costs have been relaxed for the Windows version of the Signature Library and the standard functions can now be used free of charge. A standard Signature Library production license is supplied in the GETTING STARTED document which accompanies the Windows sample code on Github; it supports all of the library functions with the exception of:

• ISO signature format
• Signature Encryption
• Signature capture using non-Wacom hardware

Until a production license has been obtained, a fully functional evaluation license is free to download as follows.

Evaluation License

Navigate to https://developer.wacom.com/developer-dashboard.

• Login using your Wacom ID
• Select Licenses
• Select New Evaluation License
• Select Generate Evaluation License for Wacom Ink SDK for signature
• Return to Licenses where the new license file is ready for download
• Download the license file

The license is supplied as a text string in a text file and will need to be copied into your application. The self-service evaluation licenses have a three-month expiry date from the time of creation. However you can generate a new license at any time. The only limitation of the evaluation license is that 'Evaluation' will be displayed in signatures captured using the license.

Production License

To use any of the excluded functions you will need a custom production license. Custom production licenses must be requested from your regional Wacom Sales representative.
