Why does an Asset QR Code show “Not Linked”?

Understand why a code has been unlinked, and how to connect it to the right asset.

Not Linked message means the QR code has been unlinked from an asset — usually because a new code was claimed for it, releasing the old one.

A new QR code was claimed for this asset 

Claiming a new code releases the previous one, which becomes an orphaned code for your account — this is expected if you’ve recently claimed a replacement.

The code was regenerated 

Using Regenerate QR Code creates a new active code and can leave the previously printed code unlinked.

The code belongs to a different account 

You can only claim codes that are unclaimed or already belong to your account — a printed code from elsewhere won’t link to your assets.

Result 

You’ll know it’s fixed when scanning the code opens the correct asset’s details instead of the Not Linked message.
