Summary
This Instruction Article explains how to add a client TEKLYNX label software license workstation to a network license server (using the Network Utilities application) for CODESOFT, LABELVIEW, or LABEL MATRIX. This is often done for new workstations, workstation upgrades, or reinstalling software on a PC workstation.

- Make a note of the full name and location of the server hosting the TEKLYNX license server.
- Temporarily suspend or remove local firewall and/or PC protection software.

NOTE: If the demo period for the software has ended and there is no valid license in place, follow the “Outside CODESOFT” method in the tab, below.
- Outside CODESOFT
- Inside CODESOFT
In the All Programs menu in Windows, either search or browse for Network Administration. This is typically located with the software brand folder (e.g. CODESOFT 2015).
Select Tools > Network administration
Step 2 – Check the box labeled ‘Use network license’ (for LABEL MATRIX, select Setup and Network tab)
Step 3 – Enter the server location and select OK
