Licensing
No personal data such as the user's name, date of birth, or biometrics are ever shared with Microblink or any other 3rd party through the License Management Program.
How is your license validated?
Each time an end user launches the camera to perform a scan or issues a scan request via API, a license validity check is performed. If the check is successful, the device will be issued a "pass" that will postpone any further checks on the license for a set period of time.
The license validity check contains the following information:
- License ID (unique ID of your license)
- Licensee
- Application identifier:
- package name on Android
- Bundle ID on iOS
- fully qualified domain name on browser SDK
- machine ID on Linux
- Mac UUID on MacOS
- Windows Product ID on Windows
- Product being used (in this case, BlinkID)
- The version of the Microblink product being used (e.g., v7.0)
- The platform on which the product is being used and OS version
The check is sent to Microblink over a secure TLS v1.2 or newer protocol. If the device is offline during scanning, a grace period will be granted, after which the license validity will be checked again. If license validity cannot be established after the grace period, the license is considered locked. If the server responds with a lock state, please contact our support team.
How does this affect app usability?
To keep the license check light, the average size of the request is around 180 bytes, and the response the server returns has around 500 bytes. This way, the check is quick enough not to affect the overall experience of the product.
