Connecting Desktop Designer to License Center
When you run Desktop Designer for the first time, you are asked to sign in with your browser to your License Center. This way, you connect your NiceLabel software and your Loftware subscription account.
If you don't use Desktop Designer, you can connect Automation to your License Center. The procedure is the same. See Connecting Desktop Designer to License Center.
-
Open your Desktop Designer. The Sign in window opens. Your License Center URL is already entered. Click Sign in with browser.
-
The Sign in page opens in your browser. Choose your sign-in option to sign in to License Center.
-
The sign in procedure is completed. You can now return to your Desktop Designer.
-
Click OK.
You connected your NiceLabel software to License Center. You can see your License Center Account name and NiceLabel product Edition in the About section in Desktop Designer.
If you ran NiceLabel module (Automation, Desktop Designer) in trial mode, you did not activate it. This applies to all NiceLabel software.
If Desktop Designer loses connection to License Center (or Control Center for LMS Pro and LMS Enterprise users), it runs offline for 14 days. When Desktop Designer enters offline mode, you receive a notification message. After 14 days, you must reconnect your NiceLabel software.
