Summary
Instructions on how to find the serial number for an existing instance of TEKLYNX software running on a PC. This applies to instances that either are currently activated or have been activated in the past (and perhaps expired). This includes:
- CODESOFT
- LABELVIEW
- LABEL MATRIX
IMPORTANT NOTE: Demo instances TEKLYNX software never activated do not have a license or serial number. Attempting to run an instance of the TEKLYNX software or run the TEKLYNX License Manager on a computer that has never had an activation installed will yield an activation screen (i.e. no License #). See below:
Instructions
Generally, the license / serial number can be found either:
- Using the Help / About screen once the application is open
- Opening the License Manager application (typically installed with the application on the PC)
The Serial Number box contains the software serial number. It should look something like this: MKH72444 or NSPF66236.
1. Using the Help / About Screen
Open the application, select Help then About
The screens looks slightly different based on the version and brand of TEKLYNX software (CODESOFT shown below as an example):
- v2012/2014 Screen
- v2015/2018 Screen
The splash screen should have the license number listed as “S/N” or “Serial Number”. Typical format is 3-4 letters followed by 5-6 digits (e.g. MKH65893, NSPF108919, etc.)
2. Opening the License Manager
Running the TEKLYNX (i.e. CODESOFT, LABELVIEW, or LABEL MATRIX) License Manager will yield different screen depending on activation type:
- USB Hardkey Activation
- Softkey Activation
Run TEKLYNX License Manager in Windows. You should see:
- Softkey Activation Screen
- Hardkey Activation Screen
