Licensing
How do I capture signatures from non-Wacom devices?
There are three important factors to take into consideration if you want to capture signatures from a non-Wacom input device, such as one of the later Microsoft Surface models, or indeed any Windows-based touch-screen laptop or tablet which doesn't have a Wacom digitizer.
- It requires a fee-paid licence for which you will need to contact your regional Wacom Account Manager. If you don't know who they are please use the "Submit a request" link above
- You need to request the licence itself from the Ink Division Enterprise Support team - your Account Manager can arrange this.
- You will need to set the value of the CaptureService registry setting to "rts" so that it looks like this:
CaptureService REG_SZ rts
The registry setting itself should be located in HKLM\SOFTWARE\{WOW6432Node\}Florentis\sd.
The WOW6432Node element should be omitted if you are running on a 32-bit PC or using the 64-bit Signature SDK on a 64-bit PC.
The "sd" key will need to be created if it doesn't already exist, as will the CaptureService setting itself.
