Version upgrade

At Loftware, we continuously improve our applications. To improve your experience, upgrade your product to the latest version. Contact your Loftware partner to receive your upgrade key.

Note

This section applies only to major version upgrades. For example, from NiceLabel 2019 to NiceLabel 10. You don't need an upgrade key if you perform a minor version upgrade, for example, from NiceLabel 10.3 to NiceLabel 10.5.

Note

If you increase the number of printer seats on your license when upgrading your product version, make sure you upgrade your product version first, then upgrade the number of printer seats. See The upgraded number of printers.

There are two upgrade options:

  • Upgrade your existing installation on one computer or multiple computers.

  • Install NiceLabel 10 on a clean computer and use your upgrade key for activation.

Upgrading your existing installation

If you have your existing installation(s) activated with a single-user or multi-user Loftware license, perform the upgrade using these steps:

  1. After you receive the Upgrade Key from your Loftware partner, download and run the NiceLabel 10 installation file.

    Click Update. The installer removes your current version and installs the latest.

    Note

    Current user settings, files, and activation information remain preserved during the upgrade.

  2. Click Close when the setup procedure ends.

  3. Run NiceLabel 10. The NiceLabel 10 Activation window opens. The License Key field is already populated with your license key from the previous version. Copy and paste the Upgrade Key from the email you received from your Loftware partner.

  4. Click Upgrade License. The upgrade of your NiceLabel 10 is done. See the new License in About > License Information.

Installing and activating NiceLabel 10 with the upgrade key

If you have a multi-user Loftware license, you might want to install and activate NiceLabel 10 on additional computers with an upgrade key.

  1. After receiving the Upgrade Key from your Loftware partner, download and run the NiceLabel 10 installation file.

  2. Complete the Free Trial Setup.

  3. When done, go to File > About and click Activate your license. The NiceLabel 10 Activation window opens.

  4. Copy and paste your upgrade key to the License Key field.

    Note

    You must not paste your old license key in the License Key field. Use the upgrade key for NiceLabel 10.
