Each installation of BarTender must be able to communicate with the BarTender Licensing Service (BLS), which monitors printer usage and enforces licensing based on your purchased edition of the BarTender software. Your installation of BLS will be one of the following configurations:
- A BarTender license consists of four significant activations, which means you may activate the software once, and then move it to a new computer up to three times. If additional moves are required, or you receive an error while moving the license, please contact Technical Support.
- The BASSET Certification Program is aimed at preventing drunk driving by informing bartenders, sellers, and servers of the laws regarding alcohol service in Illinois. The Basset certification course offered by PSCC will provide bartenders, sellers, and servers with an IL BASSET approved training course. Upon completion of this short course, you will be able to print your certificate online.
- If you are running only one copy of BarTender, you have most likely installed BLS and BarTender on the same computer.
- If you are running BarTender on multiple computers within your environment, you have installed BLS on only one computer, typically a server, which is accessible across your network by all installed copies of BarTender. You can also install a single copy of BarTender by using this configuration.

By using the property pages in the Licensing section of Administration Console, you can manage all aspects of the BarTender Licensing Service. You can track the number of printers in use and trends in printer usage, block printers that you do not want BarTender to use, and configure BLS to email notifications or create a message log when your printer limit is reached. In environments where you have more than one BLS, you can create groups of printers that are used for each BLS.
For more information about how to configure BLS, refer to the Licensing section of the BarTender help system.
