ScreenSoft Docs / Setup & Management / ScreenSoft Player registration

Register ScreenSoft Player

First prepare the new device by following Install ScreenSoft Player and start it with a working internet connection. A Company administrator with the appropriate permissions can also complete registration using the QR code or registration URL. This is not the manual addition of an entry to the Company’s device list.

What you need before registration

  • ScreenSoft Player must be running with a working internet connection.
  • The user must have a ScreenSoft account, be signed in to it and have the appropriate device-registration permissions. This applies to both the QR code and the registration URL.

If a LAN connection is unavailable, configure Wi-Fi in the service menu opened in the top-right corner of the screen. Follow the guide Connect a device to Wi-Fi. Without a working internet connection, the activation QR code, registration URL and registration code will not appear.

Registration screen

When the player starts for the first time with a working internet connection, the screen displays a QR code, registration URL and registration code.

How to register a device

  1. Scan the QR code with a phone or open the displayed registration URL on a computer and follow the instructions.
  2. Enter the device name and complete registration. According to your permissions, assign the device to the appropriate account and rename it if needed.

Registration can be carried out by an authorised technician, customer or White Label partner.

Re-register without reinstalling

  1. To register a player again without reinstalling, use the delete-device action in ScreenSoft administration.
  2. If the player is online and receives the command, it deletes local data and registration, restarts and shows the registration QR code again.
  3. This remote process depends on the player being online; it is not a full operating-system reinstall.
