The installation and setup process depends on the type of license you are using. This section explains the differences between single-user and network-based setups.
Single-User Licenses (Free, Pro, Trial)
Designed for use on one computer only.
The license server runs locally on the same machine.
No other computers can connect or share the license.
Best suited for individual use or small-scale labeling tasks.
Network Licenses (Corporate, Trial)
Requires one main computer to act as the license server.
Client computers connect to the main computer to obtain a license.
Works in both local network (LAN) and Remote Desktop (RDP) environments.
The main computer can also function as a workplace.
Ideal for multi-user environments and centralized license management.
Installing the Program
This section covers installation for both single-user and network setups, including the main and client computers.
The steps may vary slightly depending on the license type.
Installing on the Single-User or Main Computer
Download and run the installer on the computer that will serve as the single-user or main computer.
Go to the azurelabel.com program website to the Download and click
Download AzureLabel.
After downloading the AzureLabel15_setup.exe installation file,
press [Ctrl]+[J] to open the list of downloaded files,
find the AzureLabel15_setup.exe file and click on it to run.
or
After starting the installation file, the security window will open.
Click Yes.
Select installation language from the drop-down list and click OK.
Select the installation option Easy Install and click Next.
Select the modules to install and click Install.
The license server will be installed and launched automatically as part of the setup.
You can also use this computer as a regular workplace.
Installing on Client Computers
Run the same installer on each client computer.
Select installation option Custom Install.
In the Network License Settings window, clear the checkbox.
Make sure the client can access the main computer over the local network.
Client computers attempt to locate the License Server on the main computer automatically
using broadcast messages over the LAN.
If detection fails, manually set the main computer’s IP address or network name in the client settings:
On the main computer, open License Server settings via Menu > Settings > License Server
and copy the value from the "Address for workstation connections" field.
On the client computer, open License Server settings via Menu > Settings > License Server
and uncheck the "Auto search for License Server" option.
Paste the copied IP address into the "License Server address" field 1.
Click the "Search for License Server" button to test the connection 2.
First Launch and License Activation
After installation, the activation process depends on the type of computer:
Single-User or Main Computer
If a valid and active license is already present in the system (stored in the Windows Registry), the program will start normally.
This typically happens when reinstalling over an existing installation.
If no license is found, the Welcome Window will appear. From this window, you can:
Click Continue free use to run the program in Free mode with limited functionality.
Click Activate License to open the activation window. In this window, you can:
Select Activate License to enter your Pro or Corporate license key and unlock full features.
Select Activate Free Trial to enter a trial key and evaluate the full version temporarily.
For detailed instructions on entering a license or trial key, see the Licenses and Activation section.
You can also click Start Free Trial to request a trial key if you don't have one yet.
Click Buy online to purchase a license through the website.
Click Contact us if you have questions about the program or licensing.
After successful activation, the program will launch in the corresponding mode.
Client Computers (in LAN setups)
Activation is not required on client computers.
The program connects to the License Server on the main computer to obtain a license automatically.
Sharing Labels and Print Data Across Computers
AzureLabel stores data as regular files, which makes it easy to share work across multiple computers — even with the Free version.
You can store shared data in a network folder, cloud-synced storage (like OneDrive, Google Drive or Dropbox), or any folder accessible by multiple users.
Step 1: Choose a Shared Location
Create or select a shared folder on a network drive, cloud service, or local NAS device.
Make sure all users have appropriate access to the shared folder — typically read and write access,
though some folders (like Users) may be read-only for non-admin users.
Step 2: Configure Data Folder Paths in AzureLabel
On each computer, open Menu > Settings > Data Location.
Configure the folders you want to share by setting them to the shared location.
Each folder can be set independently — some can be shared, others kept local.
The list of configurable folders includes:
User Settings
Labels
Label Print Data
Label Print Settings
Print History
Catalogs – used for shared import settings, tasks, and stock layouts
Users – stores user files with login credentials, roles, and API keys
Tips for Shared Use
Be careful when multiple users open or modify the same file at the same time.
For shared cloud folders, make sure sync is complete before accessing updated files.
You can mix shared and local folders depending on your setup and workflow.
Updates
We refer to a program update as any version change where the major number does not change.
For example, updating from version 15.1 to 15.2 is an update — the major version number 15 remains the same.
If the major version number changes (e.g., from 14 to 15), it is considered a program upgrade.
To learn how to upgrade between major versions, see the
Migration from Previous Versions section.
To check for updates, simply run the program and wait about 5 seconds.
If an update is available, it will be downloaded automatically and you will be prompted to install it — click "Yes" to proceed.
To check for updates manually, go to Menu > Help > Check for Updates.
