ID Scanner won't read some drivers licenses properly

Q: My ID Scanner can't seem to read some new drivers licenses from Ohio and Michigan. What's going on?

A: New licenses for some states are more complex because they being used in place of passports for travel back and forth to Canada. Make sure you have version 9.36 or higher of the ID Scanning software installed. In October, version 9.39 will be available which will contain even newer scanning capabilities. (Now available)

This picture shows you where to click to check your software version no.
