[FAQ] Onix Inspect – Invalid license

If you cannot upload inspection data in Onix Inspect due to the “Invalid license” error, please find its explanation and solution below.

1. Why do you get the error?

Onix Inspect is designed to allow 1 user to work on 1 device at a time only.

  • Every time you download customer data, a unique license key is created. This key is assigned to the device, the downloaded data, and any backup files created from it.
  • Upon uploading, the system checks if the license key of uploaded data is the latest one.
  • If true, you upload successfully.

Therefore, it is extremely important to upload pending inspections before you download new customer data or change devices.

  • When you download new customer data on the 2nd device, the 2nd license key is generated automatically.
  • From that point on, only inpsections with the 2nd license key can be uploaded.
  • Any data upload on the 1st device gets the “Invalid license” error.
