• If you were using InitLicenseFromServer to connect to Dynamsoft server for license verification, then no need to change the license key. But please make sure the device has Internet connection.

• If you were using InitLicenseFromServer + InitLicenseFromLicenseContent to connect to Dynamsoft server once and use the SDK offline, please follow these steps to re-register the device.
