What is an Authorization Code?

Posted by gamry on July 7, 2016

Authorization Codes activate your Gamry Software to work with your potentiostat.  Each of the software packages has a package name (e.g. “DC105” for DC Corrosion Techniques) and a 10-digit Authorization Code that is linked to the serial number of your instrument.

When taking delivery of a new instrument system you will receive a list of the software packages purchased and the Authorization Codes that are linked to the instrument.  The codes can be entered on the Device Settings dialog box that appears upon first installation of the hardware.  The Authorization Codes can also be changed at a later time by going to the Windows Device Manager.  Right-click on the potentiostat device under Gamry Instruments Devices and select Properties.  Click on the Device Settings tab.

Microsoft is Ending Support for Windows 7

Microsoft will discontinue support for Windows 7 on January 14, 2020 which means Gamry will also be discontinuing support for Windows 7. If you are upgrading to Windows 10, like many companies and institutions, you need to be running Version 7 of our software. Please note that only USB and Ethernet-based instruments can run in Version 7. Eligible users can download the latest version of our software through our online Client Portal.

If you haven’t already registered your instrument, you can do so through the Client Portal.

Please email Technical Support if you have any questions regarding this transition. Please be sure to include your instrument model and serial number when contacting us.
