Web Twain With Local Service

[tony_c]

I am trying to convert our solution from using the ActiveX version of Twain to a web service based solution. I have been looking at the WebTwainDemoWithLocalService solution provided in the code examples. I can get the demo solution working with a local service. I have been trying to convert this solution so that the web service runs on a server and the clients will connect using the same JavaScript methods used in the demo project, but I cannot get seem to connect from a client to the service when it is running locally on a server. Does the web service need to be located on each client's machine or can it be moved to a server?

Thanks,
Tony

Hello Tony,

Does the web service need to be located on each client's machine or can it be moved to a server?

The local web TWAIN service provides access to the local scanners and it must be executed on the computer, which is connected with scanner.

We provide installer, which allows to install web TWAIN service on local computer.

Okay, good to know. So I have two follow up questions.

First, our product is hosted on a server and many different clients connect to it. With the ActiveX Twain solution we were using a single license for the server. Does this mean that we will require a licence for each individual client machine that will be using the web TWAIN service or will a single server license be sufficient?

Second, can you let me know where I can find the installer for TWAIN service on a local computer?

Thanks,
Tony

Hello,

Will the installers for web TWAIN service work on 32 and 64 bit machines? What about different versions of Windows?

Our "standard" installer can work in different versions of Windows (Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10 (32-bit and 64-bit); Microsoft Windows Server 2003, 2008, 2012 (32-bit and 64-bit)).
