Printer License Assignment

Go to CompuTec Label Printing Manager > Printers. You get a message indicating whether we have a connection with the license server or not.

If the license is accurate, at the top, you'll find the remaining number of printer license assignments available. For instance, in the screenshot within the primary license assignment section, there are two printer licenses, both already assigned to printers. To allocate a license to a printer, simply right-click on it, select "Assign a license," and then click "Update."
