Enterprise-level licensing for a barcode decoder within a mobile device application

Abstract

An application on a mobile device may include a barcode decoder. The application may be configured to download a configuration file. The configuration file may include an enterprise identifier that is uniquely associated with an enterprise. The application may additionally be configured to obtain a license key for the barcode decoder. The license key may be based on the enterprise identifier. The application may additionally be configured to transition the barcode decoder from an inactive state to an active state conditional upon verifying that the license key is based on the enterprise identifier.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A mobile device, comprising:
 one or more processors;   memory in electronic communication with the one or more processors; and   an application stored in the memory of the mobile device, the application comprising a barcode decoder, the application being executable by the one or more processors to:
 download a configuration file comprising an enterprise identifier that is uniquely associated with an enterprise; 
 obtain a license key for the barcode decoder, the license key being based on the enterprise identifier; and 
 transition the barcode decoder from an inactive state to an active state conditional upon verifying that the license key is based on the enterprise identifier.
