    After the initial licensing, an annual renewal invoice will be sent to your company. Registration is submitted for each individual product and there is no limitation to the number of individual product registrations that can be submitted and covered by the annual fee. Subsequent registrations are required when introducing a new product, and may also be needed for new version releases or firmware changes that would affect the compliancy matrix.

    All product license/registration program companies are required to attend our periodic "plugfests" to test your product with products from other vendors for interoperability and functionality. These sessions offer opportunities for peer review and engineering development of new products, and a better understanding of the standard, the coding, and interpretations of the application. These events are also the opportunity to test your product against the validation framework to prove compliancy.

    To initiate the development process, please review and submit the Camera Link License Application. It describes the registration and compliancy process.Click hereto access this form and all vision standards license applications and compliancy docs.
