ZEBRA TC70 Mobile Touch Computer
ZLicenseMgr 14.0.0.x
Release Notes – March. 2025
Introduction
The License Manager app is a software licensing application specifically designed to facilitate efficient management and activation of software licenses for Zebra products. This app plays a crucial role in ensuring a streamlined and effective licensing process for enterprise environments, where multiple devices and applications require proper licensing for operation. The APK, previously bundled exclusively with BSPA, is now also available for sideload installation through the support portal.
Key Points
- Entitlement Details: Upon purchasing a license from Zebra, you receive entitlement details that include a unique BADGEID and the product name associated with the license.
- Server Type: Licenses are specified for either a Production server or a UAT server. Activation generally takes place on a Production server, which is utilized by both customers and partners.
- Device Association: A device can consume licenses only from the associated BADGEID. If a device is associated with a different BADGEID and a new license is activated, any previously activated license linked to the former BADGEID will be released.
- Important Consideration: Activating a BADGEID-based license using the ZLicenseMgr application will erase licenses that were activated with previous versions of the application, which were part of the device OS or BSPA
Device Support
Supports all Zebra devices running from Android 5 to Android 13 See all supported devices
INSTALLATION
Prerequisites:
- Ensure the device is compatible with the ZLicenseMgr application.
- Confirm that the device’s system clock is set correctly to the current date and time.
- Verify that the device has a stable network connection for online activation and updates
Download the Application
- Obtain the ZLicenseMgr APK from Zebra’s official support site.
Installing the Application:
- To install the ZLicenseMgr application using Android Debug Bridge (ADB), connect your device with USB debugging enabled and execute the command: adb install -r <APK>.
- If using an EMM solution like SOTI or AirWatch, upload the APK to the EMM console.
- Create an application deployment profile that includes the ZLicenseMgr APK.
- Push the profile to target devices to install the application automatically.
Usage Notes
- Activating a BADGEID-based license using the ZLicenseMgr application will erase licenses that were activated with previous versions of the application, which were part of the device OS or BSPA.
- Before associating a device with a new BADGEID, it’s important to release all licenses from the device to ensure compliance, security, and proper resource management.
- After upgrading ZLicenseMgr on the device, a reboot is recommended to ensure all changes are properly applied and the system functions optimally.
- If ZLicenseMgr is downgraded, there is a possibility of losing licenses, so it’s important to redeploy a license reactivation profile that is applicable and supported by the downgraded version.
- In the event of a clock reset leading to an invalid license state, it is necessary to correct the clock settings and perform a license reactivation to update and restore the license state.
- To prevent a profile from being applied multiple times through SOTI FileSync, enable the “Execute Script Only if Files Transmitted” option to ensure scripts are executed only when new files are transmitted.
- When upgrading ZLicenseMgr using the adb install -r command, you may encounter the “INSTALL_FAILED_SESSION_INVALID” error; however, the installation will still succeed.
- Third-party EMMs that do not support managed enterprise apps or the FileSync option for deploying MX XML profiles can utilize the OEMConfig Tools’ pass-through command feature to upgrade ZLicenseMgr on the device.
- For Android versions A8 to A11, it is recommended to use the Legacy OEMConfig tool, whereas for Android version A13 and above, Zebra’s new OEMConfig tool should be used.
