Installing EASYLABEL for the first time

EASYLABEL Multi-User has some differences in setup, including starting the Network Server
and connecting other PCs to that server. Those instructions are included after the more common
setup information.

1. Downloading EASYLABEL

Please download the correct software level and version of EASYLABEL according to the license you have
purchased. If you do not know your license information, you can determine that by running the EASYLABEL
License Tool.

Here is the download link for the License Tool if you do not already have it downloaded:
https://easylabel.com/download/drivers/EASYLABEL-License-Tool.exe

Current and older versions of EASYLABEL can be downloaded from our website, easylabel.com

If you have an older version of EASYLABEL and have the original download disc, you can use that to
download EASYLABEL.

EASYLABEL versions 6.2-6.4 will run on Windows 7 through Windows 11

EASYLABEL version 7 will run on Windows 10 through Windows 11

If you would like to upgrade to EASYLABEL 7, our latest version, please contact your EASYLABEL Reseller or
[email protected]

If downloading EASYLABEL on multiple PCs, be sure to install the same

version number on all PCs
Format files can be opened and edited in newer versions of EASYLABEL than
what they were designed for, but may become corrupt if saved in an older
version

We highly recommend installing EASYLABEL as an Administrator.

Running the download file as Administrator helps to ensure all files are installed properly.

this file to activate the license.
