About VueScan
VueScan is a professional scanning software developed by Hamrick Software, based in Tucson, Arizona. It’s designed to work with over 7,000+ flatbed and film scanners from major brands like Epson, Canon, HP, Nikon, and many others, often restoring functionality to older scanners that no longer have manufacturer drivers. VueScan is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, and comes in two main editions (Standard and Professional) as a one-time purchase download directly from hamrick.com. Many photographers, archivists, and home users buy VueScan to get higher-quality scans, more control over color, and advanced film/slide scanning features.
A VueScan charge may appear on your bank or card statement after you purchase a license from hamrick.com or upgrade from the Standard to the Professional Edition. The descriptor may show as “HAMRICK SOFTWARE,” “VUESCAN,” or “HAMRICK.COM,” and the amount typically matches the price of a Standard or Professional license, sometimes plus applicable taxes or VAT. While VueScan licensing is a one-time payment (not a subscription), you might also see a second charge if you later purchase an upgrade after your initial year of free updates, or if you bought multiple licenses for different computers or for business use. In some cases, you might first see a small temporary authorization or a pending international transaction if your bank flags purchases in USD from an online software vendor.
If you’re unsure about a VueScan charge, start by searching your email for a receipt from Hamrick Software or “VueScan” around the date of the charge, and check any accounts or computers where VueScan is installed to see which license was purchased. You can review or re-download your license by visiting hamrick.com and using their customer support or license lookup tools, and you can contact Hamrick Software via their support form or email if you need details about a specific transaction, invoice, or license key. For unresolved issues—such as duplicate charges, accidental purchases, or difficulty cancelling an upgrade order—Hamrick Software can usually verify your order using your email address and last four digits of the card, and your bank or card issuer can help dispute the charge if you confirm that no one with access to your household or business accounts made the purchase.
