The importance of the Canon Licence Access Number for our Canon Printer

The Canon Licence Access Number is a unique alphanumeric code provided on the License Access Number Certificate included in your Canon product package. This number is essential for obtaining a license key to activate certain functions or system options on your Canon device. A Canon license access key is required to activate certain functions or system options on Canon devices, such as imageRUNNER models or MEAP applications.
It is printed on the License Access Number Certificate that comes with your Canon device or software package. You need this number along with your device’s serial number (which can be found by pressing the Counter Check button on the device’s control panel) to obtain a license key from Canon’s License Management System at http://www.canon.com/lms/license/.
The license key obtained using this number must be registered on the device to activate licensed features. For MEAP applications, the License Access Number is also required to generate a license file (.lic) through Canon’s license management portal.
If you lose your License Access Number or license key, you typically need to contact Canon support or your reseller for assistance, as it is not retrievable directly from the device.
How to use the Licence Access Number:
- Access the Canon License Management System online.
- Enter the Licence Access Number and device serial number.
- Follow the instructions to obtain the license key or license file.
- Register the license key on your Canon device via its control panel.
This process ensures that only authorized features are activated on your Canon equipment.
