Upgrade to Bartender 2019
With the release of BarTender 2019, Seagull Scientific continues to enhance your design and printing experience and provide easier ways to manage and administer your operation. This describes the most significant features that were added or improved in BarTender 2019.
Major Changes
If you're upgrading from an older version of BarTender, there are some changes that you should be aware of.
- All editions of BarTender are now licensed by printer.
- BarTender 2016 Basic will be updated to a BarTender 2019 Professional, 1 printer license.
- BarTender 2016 Professional will be updated to a BarTender 2019, 2 printer license.
- BarTender 2019 has a new Licensing Service that replaces Seagull License Server. This Licensing Service is not backwards compatible with older versions of BarTender. This means that you must update your BarTender clients at the same time that you update your master License Server.
- BarTender 2019 greatly simplifies the installation process, installing most BarTender components with every installation.
- A local BarTender System Database is installed on every BarTender workstation, but each workstation can be configured to use a centralized System Database if you prefer.
