We need to produce 2D Datamatrix barcode for the parts we send to our customer. We are using MS Access 2010 for 1D barcode production. Now customer asks 2D barcode Datamatrix. It will be used on one computer and one MS Access program written by us. I am an expirienced MS Access VBA programmer but no knowledge on 2D Barcode. Which licence should I buy to printout 2D datamatrix barcode via MS Access 2010 VBA?

Hello and thank you for contacting us. I see that you tagged your post with ActiveX so the first item to address will be that ActiveX is no longer a supported solution for use with Microsoft Access. While you are currently using Access 2010, the ActiveX component could work, but there are issues with Access crashing using ActiveX in any version higher than 2010.
The recommended solution is to use barcode fonts with a VBA macro installation. Regarding licensing for this product, the user licensing will be only for one locally installed workstation for one user and does not allow for a Developer to set up the report for that user. If you have a Developer that will be working with the code and a different user will be generating and printing the barcode than a 1 Developer license would be the required license. If you are developing the barcodes for a customer of yours, this also requires Developer licensing to distribute the code and fonts from yourself as the purchaser to your customer.
