Remark: this chapter only applies to ASIAR-Pro and ASIAIR devices, but no longer to the ASIAIR-Plus which uses an internal 32GB memory with recovery options.

Authorization
Option 1: Authorize Online (Internet access is required): Tap Authorize Online and AISIAIR will automatically complete the authorization.
During this process you'll have to reconnect your mobile device back to the internet, wait for the authorization code and finally reconnect to the ASI AIR WiFi network to transfer the authorization code back onto the microSD Card in the ASIAIR device.
Option 2: Scan License QR Code (No Internet access is required): Tap Scan from Album or obtained online, then scan to authorize
During the process a License-QR-code will be generated which should be saved to your photo album (recommended for later repairs).
