Bartender Software Install and Licensing

Edit: Alternative installation:

Run in CMD as admin from the installation folder. Manual installer found here: BT2021_R1_160168_Full_x64.exe 

BT2021_R1_160168_Full_x64.exe FEATURE=BarTender INSTALLSQL=false BLS=PLN-VAMT:5160 PKC=2R-0CC4G-TKKW4-ZQBF

1. Run the installer from Software Center
2. For Printer ask the user if using the Zebra or Datamax (Most should require the Zebra and the printer may already be installed)

Training and Support beyond EUS install: Geoff Emore

When Bartender opens…click on Search for existing license

Enter PLN-VAMT for Server and click Next

I had a user that ran into an error when printing with Bartender. I ended up re-activating the licenses again.

This error means BarTender has detected significant hardware changes, such as a new motherboard or Windows update, that have invalidated your license. To fix it, you can deactivate and reactivate the license through the BarTender Administration Console.

2. Navigate to Licensing > License Setup.

3. Click the gear icon and select Deactivate License, then follow the wizard. ** If wizard fails copy the web link and try in a browser.
