Identytech licensing system
Each copy of software requires its unique license, based on unique identifier of the computer (Hardware ID). It is impossible to run the software without a license even for a trial period.
Each IdentyTech customer receives an access to IdentyTech CRM account and the option to create a licenses, based on the number of the licenses that were purchased. Also, all the terminals purchased by the same customer appears on his CRM account.
Basic software license enables all standard features allowing the customer work with a terminals. The software will recognize and work only with the terminals that appears in the license file. While generating a license file, all the terminals purchased by the customer will automatically appear in the license. There is an option to manually choose the terminals that would appear within the license, in case the customer is registered as an “Integrator”(reseller). In case that more terminals were purchased by the customer, license file can be easily updated by re-downloading a file from IdentyTech CRM (there is no need to generate additional license file).
In addition to a basic software functionality, there are various optional modules available. Those can be enabled by the license (modules are purchased separately and not enabled by the basic license). The license can be extended for additional modules while generating a license file in case there are additional modules credits available.
Each license that was created is permanent and cannot be deleted or transferred to another PC. There is no option to modify a Hardware ID after the license file was generated (basic license can be extended for use with additional modules by simply editing the license file, there is no need to generate additional license file).
The licenses are created by the customer itself, and NOT via sending the request to the Support Team.
In case there is no license credits available, please contact our Sales Team at: salesus@identytech.com.

Biometric enrollment
The following guide is created to assist the person responsible for the biometric enrollment.
The Person who responsible for the biometric enrollment procedure should be patient, professional with good personal communication, before starting the enrollment procedure its very high important to explain the user the enrolling process and the optimal finger area that we want to record/enroll. Prior to enrollment, the person in charge has to explain the concept of enrollment of fingerprint / palm biometric key production.
We recommend to enroll at least 2 fingers (one on each hand) or more in case it is required. For the palm enrollment we recommend to enroll both hands.
The Fingerprint enrollment procedure
Correct enrollment
Placing the finger on the enrollment sensor is high important, full coverage of the finger on the enrollment surface pattern will supply good and accurate template of the enrolled person.
Try to cover the entire area of the reader by the following examples:
Incorrect enrollment
DO NOT put finger on the sensor surface like that:
The Palm-Vein enrollment procedure
The following illustrations show the physical view and drawings of the palm guide. Since the palm vein technology is touch-less, it is recommended to use a hand guide for a first 2 month in order to train the users to place a hand correctly.
The following illustration is the range which signifies the vertical length of the palm and shows what part of the palm is being enrolled.
Correct enrollment
Try to cover the palm guide area from the wrist to finger by the following examples:
Incorrect enrollment
DO NOT put your hand on the guide surface area like that:
IP address basics & Terminals
- General
Most networks today, including all computers on the Internet, use the TCP/IP protocol as the standard for how to communicate on the network. In the TCP/IP protocol, the unique identifier for a computer is called its IP address.
How does your computer get its IP address? An IP address can be either dynamic or static. A static address is one that you configure yourself by editing your computer’s network settings. This type of address is rare, and it can create network issues if you use it without a good understanding of TCP/IP. Dynamic addresses are the most common. They’re assigned by the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), a service running on the network. DHCP typically runs on network hardware such as routers or dedicated DHCP servers.
- Assigning static IP address to your computer
To change the computer’s IP address in Windows 7, type network and sharing into the Search box in the Start Menu and select Network and Sharing Center when it comes up. If you are in Windows 8.x it will be on the Start Screen itself, like the screenshot at the top of this article.
Then when the Network and Sharing Center opens, click on Change adapter settings. This will be the same on Windows 7 or 8.x.
Right-click on your local adapter and select Properties.
In the Local Area Connection Properties window highlight Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)then click the Properties button.
Now select the radio button Use the following IP address and enter in the correct IP, Subnet mask, and Default gateway that corresponds with your network setup. Then enter your Preferred and Alternate DNS server addresses. Here we’re on a home network and using a simple Class C network configuration and Google DNS.
Check Validate settings upon exit so Windows can find any problems with the addresses you entered. When you’re finished click OK.
Now close out of the Local Area Connections Properties window.
Now you can open the command prompt and do an ipconfig to see the network adapter settings have been successfully changed.
- Usefull Tools
The most useful tool is a Windows command promt (cmd).
A command prompt is an entry point for typing computer commands in the Command Prompt window. By typing commands at the command prompt, you can perform tasks on your computer without using the Windows graphical interface.
To open the Command Prompt window, click the Start button –> All Programs –> Accessories, and then click Command Prompt.
1. To find out your current IP address settings, type “ipconfig” command and click “Enter“. The IP settings will appear.
2. To view the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) cache, type “arp -a”. This will show all the IP and MAC addresses in your network.
3. To test and verify connectivity from the computer to some IP address, type “ping” command and then type a space and IP address you want to check connectivity to. For example: “ping 192.168.1.15“
- Finding & connecting IdentyTech terminals
All of Identytech are are shipped with the following IP settings:
IP address: 192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask: 255.0.0.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1
If your network setting supports assigning of DHCP addresses, once you plug the terminal to the network, the IP address will be automatically assigned to the terminal.
In case the IP address was not assigned automatically, it has to be set manually. In order to do so, you will have to assign a “Static” IP address to your PC with the following :
IP address: 192.168.1.15
Subnet Mask: 255.0.0.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1
(To assign a static IP please navigate to the top of the page to “Assigning static IP address to your computer” section.)
Once the address is assigned, you will be able to see the terminal in the management software and change its IP address to desired IP settings.
