Frequently Asked Questions
BarTender offers flexible licensing models that support your business requirements and scalability.
BarTender Software is available as a traditional per-printer or Workstation license (only available for Professional and Starter editions). Both license types are available as a traditional perpetual license or subscription.
BarTender Cloud is available as a traditional per-printer subscription or per-label subscription. Per-printer subscriptions provide unlimited users and label print runs. Per-label subscriptions provide unlimited users and unlimited printers.
The BarTender Workstation license is an easy entry-level solution that allows you to print to unlimited printers from a single user and PC. Available for Professional and Starter editions only.
BarTender offers three levels of Maintenance & Support: Premium, Standard, and Essential. The Essential level of support is only available for BarTender Cloud Essentials customers.
Standard Maintenance & Support is included for at least one (1) year with the purchase of any new BarTender license, except BarTender Cloud Essentials which receives the Essential support level. Standard support grants access to live technical support channels (including phone and chat), free BarTender Software updates to the latest features and enhancements, licensing and activation assistance, and more.
Premium Maintenance & Support is an available add-on service that minimizes disruptions through 24/7/365 global coverage (including weekends and public holidays) and guaranteed 1-hour response time for any production-impacting issue.
Yes, all BarTender licenses offer 1-, 3-, and 5-year plans. The 3-year plan offers an additional 10% discount and the 5-year plan offers an additional 15% discount.
Currently, all BarTender licenses are only available with annual agreements.
Yes, BarTender customers can upgrade their editions and plans at any time. Additionally, BarTender customers can add more printers to their license, Premium Maintenance & Support, Professional Services, and other products and services whenever they need them.
Please note that there are additional costs for all upgrades and add-ons.
Yes, depending on which license you have, you can switch licensing models to better suit your needs at any time. BarTender Software customers can leverage the BarTender License Flex Program to switch from perpetual licensing to subscription. BarTender Cloud customers can also switch from per-label to per-printer and vice versa.
Each BarTender Cloud plan requires an annual subscription fee and a one-time $395 provisioning charge. The provisioning charge includes two (2) label template designs and label template consultation with our Label Design team and Customer Success onboarding.
For label printing volume overages of 5% or less, customers will need to renew their BarTender Cloud Plan at the next highest volume tier from their original purchase. For label printing volume overages more than 5%, an additional invoice will be provided for the additional label printing volume.
