How to Add Licenses to a Standalone NAV-900 Using Trimble Toolbox+ App

In this training video, we walk through how to connect to a NAV-900 receiver using the Trimble Toolbox+ app, available for Android and iPhone. You’ll also learn how to scan and install license unlocks via QR code directly from your phone when the NAV-900 is not connected to a Trimble display.

Video training:

What You’ll Need:

  • A NAV-900 receiver powered on and ready
  • A smartphone with the Trimble Toolbox+ app installed
  • The receiver’s serial number
  • QR codes saved as photos on your phone, or license files downloaded
  • Bluetooth enabled on your phone

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1: Launch the Trimble Toolbox+ App

Open the Trimble Toolbox+ app on your smartphone.

Tap the refresh icon to scan for nearby Bluetooth receivers.


Step 2: Connect to the NAV-900

Identify the receiver by matching the serial number listed in the app to the serial number on the bottom of your NAV-900.

Tap the matching receiver to connect.

Wait for the receiver to respond and connect fully.


Step 3: Access the License Section

Once connected, scroll through the available settings and tap on Licenses.

You will see any currently installed licenses.


Step 4: Add New Licenses via QR Code (Photo Upload)

Tap the plus (+) icon to begin the license installation process.

Choose to upload from photo if your QR codes are saved as images.

Select a QR code image from your phone’s gallery.

Wait for confirmation — a message will appear (faintly at the bottom of the screen):

    – “License has been accepted”

Repeat the process for any additional QR code licenses.


Step 5: Confirm Installed Licenses

Scroll through the license list to verify that each license has been properly added.

Example licenses might include:

  • Software Activation
  • CenterPoint RTX Fast
  • GLONASS
  • Full Demo License


If any licenses have expired, they will be flagged clearly in the list.


Optional: Use AG Remote for Setup or Diagnostics

If needed, navigate to AG Remote from the main menu.

You can use this tool to:

  • Adjust GPS accuracy settings
  • Configure the receiver as a rover or static unit
  • Perform autopilot setups or change tap values if connected to a NAV controller

Important Notes:

  • This process works for a standalone NAV-900, even if it’s not connected to a display.
  • Be sure Bluetooth is enabled and the receiver is powered on for successful connection.
  • License status (active, expired, region-specific) is clearly displayed in the app.
  • Trimble Toolbox+ is a powerful utility for remote diagnostics and configuration when no display is available.
