Secugen Device - Registration

If device registration fails, consider these common solutions:

| Issue | Likely Cause | Solution | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | "Device Not Found" | Driver not installed or USB port issue. | Download the latest Secugen drivers; try a different USB port; check Device Manager. | | "License Invalid" | License key expired or hardware mismatch. | Contact your software vendor; ensure the license matches the device serial number. | | "Poor Image Quality" | Dirty sensor or dirty finger. | Clean the sensor glass with a sticky-tape cleaner (do not use liquids). Ensure fingers are dry. | | "Capture Timeout" | Sensor sensitivity settings. | Adjust the "Brightness" or "Gain" settings in the SDK or application settings. |

| Problem | Solution | | :--- | :--- | | Device not detected by OS | Reinstall SecuGen drivers. Check USB cable and port. Try a different USB port (avoid USB hubs). | | SDK returns "Device not found" | Ensure no other application (e.g., Windows Hello, another fingerprint app) has locked the device. Close all competing software. | | Registration timeout | Increase the capture timeout in your software settings. Some sensors need a finger to be pressed firmly. | | License missing | Some SecuGen SDKs require a license file. Verify that your software license is active and includes device registration rights. | | Firmware mismatch | Use SecuGen’s SGUpdateTool to check if your device firmware is compatible with your SDK version. |

In networked environments (like a hospital or office building), the device must be "registered" on the network: verifying the connection through diagnostics
