Changing a Scanner on a Client
For non MS and IS models, if you want to replace a scanner on a client already running the ReM client
agent with another scanner of the same model number that is already enabled for ReM, just exchange
them.
If you want to replace a scanner with a different model number, uninstall the ReM client agent, restart the
computer and then reinstall the ReM client agent using the directions on page 2-4. In both cases, the
new scanner must be enabled for ReM by following the licensing process with a valid license file for that
scanner (see page 2-7).
Exchanging IS and MS Models
When you installed the ReM client agent for a legacy Metrologic scanner (IS and MS models), you used
the Licensing Tool during installation to enable the scanner for use with ReM. Because the licensing
process occurred during ReM installation, licensing will not be set up automatically if you want to replace
the existing scanner with another scanner of the same model. Therefore, you must run the licensing pro-
cess manually to deploy the new license key to the (new) scanner.
Licensing a Scanner After ReM Has Already Been Installed
The ReM licensing process is C:\Program Files\JPOSScanner\RemLicense.exe. To license the new
scanner you must create a configuration file for the new scanner, then run a batch file (lic.bat) to tell
RemLicense.exe to use that configuration file. These steps are the same whether you execute the
licensing process locally or remotely (silently).
1. Obtain an ReM license for the new scanner from Honeywell.
2. Save all relevant licensing files to the ...\JPOSScanner\RemLicensingTool folder on the client.
3. Create a configuration file named RemApnt.config containing the data to be used by the licensing
tool (see RemApnt.config below).
4. Save the file to the ...\ReMLicensingTool\ folder.
5. Stop the client agent by executing ...\JPOSScanner\StopMBean.exe.
6. Run ...\RemLicensingTool\lic.bat to complete the licensing process.
7. Restart the client agent by executing ...\JPOSScanner\StartMBean.exe.
Note: The location of the \JPOSScanner folder may differ according to your installation. If you want to
execute the licensing process remotely, add the following path in your script or batch file to reach
the folder: “"%windir%"\..\Program Files\JPOSScanner
The licensing process creates the following files in the current folder:
• Result.txt contains a single character indicating the results of the licensing installation.
S = Success, F = Failure
• ...RemLicensingTool\Log\MetroRemmlog.txt contains summarized results of the push, pull and
update firmware operations performed during the licensing process.
• ...RemLicensingTool\Log\ScannerConfigUtility.txt contains detailed results of the push, pull and
update firmware operations performed during the licensing process.
