NiceLabel Activation and Registration

Activate the NiceLabel software if you want to use it in full working mode. If you do not complete the activation process, NiceLabel will run in demo mode.

The Product Activation utility will always run after installation. If you want to change the activation type or add more licenses to your network edition, you can also start activation from the NiceLabel software by opening the Manage License window under the Help menu.

NiceLabel Demo Mode

There are three types of NiceLabel software activation:

  • Hardware key activation
  • Single-user Software key activation
  • Network Software key activation


Hardware key activation
: NiceLabel software editions with hardware key can be used immediately after installation. The NiceLabel software can be activated with a Parallel or USB key.

Single-user Software key activation: NiceLabel software editions with a single-user software key need to run the NiceLabel activation application in order to obtain full functionality. The Software Key number is a sequence of 25 characters.

Network Software key activation: You can activate the server part of the NiceLabel Network edition the same way as NiceLabel editions that come with a single-user software key. The Network Software Key number is a sequence of 25 characters. Activating the server part will also activate the client on the current workstation. If you upgrade the network edition with additional users, you have to install and activate each additional workstation separately.

Activate NiceLabel (Automatic Activation)

  1. Start NiceLabel software.
  2. Open the Manage licenses window under the Help menu.
  3. Follow on-screen instructions to activate your NiceLabel software.

Activate NiceLabel on the Web

If you purchased NiceLabel with a 25-digit software key and the computer where you installed NiceLabel does not have Internet access, you have to obtain the Activation Code from the NiceLabel server.

Start the activation wizard from the NiceLabel software. When you see the window asking for the Activation Code, do the following:

  1. Write down the Key number and the Registration number.
  2. Write down the Web page activation address.
  3. Go to a computer with Internet access and open the activation Web site in the Internet Explorer.

    NiceLabel desktop activation: www.nicelabel.com/nlactivation_dlp.html

    NiceLabel Network activation: www.nicelabel.com/nlactivation_netdlp.html

  4. Enter the Key number and the Registration number. Enter other user information when prompted.
  5. Click on the Activate button to retrieve the Activation Code.
  6. Write down the Activation Code.

    Note: The Key and Registration numbers, the Activation code and information in other fields are case-sensitive, so be careful when writing it down.
  7. Go back to the NiceLabel computer where the window Manage License is still open and enter the Activation Code.
  8. Click on the 'Next' button and follow the prompts to complete the activation process.

See the NiceLabel Quick Start Guide or the NiceLabel Tutorials for detailed information on how to activate NiceLabel.
