Licenses
Every vision tool requires at least one enabled license on your Cognex security device, and some vision tools require multiple licenses. For example, the ID tool requires a combination of the licenses VProX.Barcode, VProX.Symbol, or VProX.SymbolVerifyBasic to locate 1D or 2D symbologies, depending on the needs of your vision application.
