* Limited functionality in Automation edition
If you purchased an Automation edition of BarTender, you will also need to install a single copy of Seagull License Server (SLS) on your network in order to enforce licensing. Without this application, BarTender will run in demo mode, altering your print output from your intended design.
If you are running only one copy of BarTender, SLS and BarTender are usually installed on the same computer. On the installer, simply check the box for Seagull License Server to install both applications.
If you are running BarTender on multiple computers within your environment, SLS is installed on ONLY one computer. This computer, typically a server, must be accessible across your network by all installed copies of BarTender. When running the installer, you have the option to install Seagull License Server Only. Use this option if the computer (or server) running SLS will not also have BarTender running on it. If you choose to also install BarTender, run the installer and check the box for Seagull License Server to install both applications. All other installations should not include Seagull License Server.
If you will be creating your own custom applications to run and manage BarTender, the BarTender .NET SDK is also available for installation. This collection of APIs let your applications automatically perform all of the data-retrieval and high demand label printing tasks that BarTender itself performs.
