Overview
HP Embedded Capture (HP EC) improves workflows by capturing documents through a variety of simple methods. HP EC makes it easier to digitize documents and share them publicly, while extending a device’s digital-sending capabilities. As a basic scan-and-send solution, HP EC improves device efficiency without the need for a dedicated server. Users can predefine scan processes and trigger them directly at the device, or implement on-demand scanning from common applications through a TWAIN driver.

How do I re-install a device license (e.g. after a hard reset)
The USB Key stores the serial number of each deployed device. If the device is hard reset and loses the HP EC app, the customer will be able deploy the previous license key to that device. No additional license is consumed.

Is the USB Key needed for all device installs, or are the licenses available on the PC?

All license keys are stored on the USB Key. They are not available on the PC. When HP EC is installed on additional devices, the USB Key and the deployment PC are both required.
