Varjo Base Pro license for XR-4 Series

Varjo Base Pro is a license for XR-4 Series headsets. The license gives you access to an expanded feature set in Varjo Base that enables more advanced mixed reality workflows, deeper customization options, and enhanced data access.   

You can purchase Varjo Base Pro licenses in Varjo Account Portal. Log in with your Varjo Account to purchase licenses.

The members of your organization can activate the purchased license to a headset in Varjo Base. When the license is activated for the headset and the headset is connected to Varjo Base, the expanded feature set of Varjo Base will be available. The licenses are headset specific, and you cannot transfer them to another headset. 

Note that customers who purchased their XR-4 Series headset before March 25, 2025, have been granted a Varjo Base Legacy license, which allows using all features included in Varjo Base up until the 4.10 release. New professional features added under Varjo Base Pro license after 4.10 are not included in the Varjo Base Legacy license. For more information, see Do I need a Varjo Base Pro license for my headset?.
