BarTender Automation watches for a trigger, merges the data and sends the job to the right printer. No operator, no copy-paste, no wrong label.
Your ERP, WMS or MES, a shared folder or a database table.
A File Drop, REST call or database change maps the data to the right label template.
Any site, any printer, with print logs you can audit.
Specialists scope the integration, install and test it on your printers.
Whether your trial just ended, your maintenance is coming due or you've outgrown a single-PC license, one call sorts it out. Have your support number or license key handy if you have one.
Buy on this page and your BarTender license key is issued and activated with you on a call, within an hour during business hours. Running the 30-day trial already? Buy the license and we activate your existing install. No reinstall, your labels stay where they are.
Buy a licenseSend your support number or license key and we quote the renewal. Renewing keeps a subscription running and keeps upgrades and Seagull support active on a perpetual license. Lapsed for a while? Ask: most licenses can be reinstated.
Move from Professional to Automation or Enterprise with your templates intact, or add printer licenses to an Unlimited Users license as you grow. The single-PC license is not upgradeable, so pick Unlimited Users if more than one person will design or print.
Searching for a BarTender activation key or license key? BarTender licenses and their keys are issued by Seagull Scientific through authorized partners. A purchase on this page includes your key and a specialist who activates it with you. There is no legitimate free key, and keys from other sources will not activate.
Existing key stopped working? That is a support question, not a purchase. Choose "Get technical support" in the form, or call 855-316-2808.
Seagull Scientific offers a 30-day trial of BarTender. Request it here and a BarTender specialist installs it, connects a printer and builds a first label with you, so the trial time goes into your labels, not into setup.
Tell us what you print and which edition you're curious about. We reply the same business day.
A short call: we install BarTender, connect a printer and build one of your labels in it.
When you're ready, the license activates on the same install, within an hour during business hours. If it isn't the right fit, nothing to uninstall but the trial.
Trials are provided by Seagull Scientific and run 30 days from activation. Trial labels print with a watermark.
No credit card. A specialist schedules the install call and answers your edition questions before you spend a day on setup.
Prefer to talk first? Call 855-316-2808.
You get the genuine BarTender product at partner pricing. The partner adds the setup, the label design and the support so it's printing on day one and stays that way.
During business hours, a BarTender specialist installs the software, activates the license and connects your printers with you on a call. Orders placed after hours are set up the next business morning.
Your first label templates are built with you and your printers are configured, so nobody spends the first week reading manuals.
Specialists in the United States answer the phone during business hours, before and after you buy: 855-316-2808.
Every license includes a one-hour onboarding session: your data sources, your printers, your first production labels, done together.

BarTender Professional is $1,195 for one PC with unlimited printers, or $1,695 for unlimited users with two printer licenses ($2,495 with three). Both include a year of Standard Maintenance & Support, setup, template design and a free onboarding session. Automation and Enterprise are licensed per printer and quoted on your printer count; a quote takes one business day or less.
Within an hour during business hours. A BarTender specialist installs the software, activates the license and connects your printers with you on a call. Orders placed after hours are set up the next business morning.
If one computer will design and print, the 1 PC license covers it with unlimited printers, but it cannot be upgraded later. If two or more people will use BarTender, choose Unlimited Users and pick your printer count. The three-question builder works it out for you.
Yes, if you need a license: every purchase includes your license key and a specialist who activates it with you. If you already have a key that stopped working, that is a support request; choose "Get technical support" in the form or call 855-316-2808. Keys cannot be supplied without a license purchase, and keys from third-party sites will not activate.
Usually, yes. Send your support number or license key and we check what Seagull allows for your edition and version, then quote the renewal. Reinstating a lapsed maintenance plan may carry a catch-up charge; you'll know before you decide.
The Professional licenses on this page are one-time purchases that include the first year of Standard Maintenance & Support; after that, renewing maintenance is optional and keeps upgrades and Seagull support active. Automation and Enterprise are quoted as a subscription or a perpetual license plus maintenance, whichever you prefer.
Yes. Your label templates carry over, so you can move up to Automation or Enterprise as your printing grows, and add printer licenses to an Unlimited Users license at any time. The single-PC Professional license is the one exception: it cannot be upgraded.
Seagull Scientific offers a 30-day BarTender trial. Request it here and it is installed for you, so the trial time goes into designing your labels rather than setting up software.
Yes. Licenses bought on this page come with US-based specialists by phone and email, and licenses with active maintenance also include Seagull's own support. If you bought elsewhere and need help, ask; we'll tell you what we can do.
Yes. BarTender Cloud runs in the browser with no server to maintain and comes in Essentials, Automation and Enterprise plans. If you'd rather not host anything, say so in the form and we'll quote cloud and on-premises side by side.
Yes. Zebra and Honeywell printers, ribbons and label stock can be quoted together with the software, so one order covers the whole print setup.
