Enterprise Edition

 

BT32i-E3
Seagull Scientific Bartender Enterprise, license for unlimited users & 3 printers per site.
Version 7.72

Provides the full range of BarTender's most powerful features. Especially designed to allow automation control by other programs. Contains our complete set of external data access capabilities.

Delivers – Includes our most powerful software integration tools, such as ActiveX Automation, Enterprise messaging and Seagull's own Commander utility for cross-platform integration. Advanced data sourcing, including the industry's only SAP-certified direct IDoc interface. Intelligent network Install can set up a single copy of BarTender to run on unlimited workstations.

Licensing – Allows unlimited number of local area network users, with licensing based on the maximum number of printers. (Multiple corporate sites require individual licenses.)

Professional Edition

 

BT32-PRO
Seagull Scientific BarTender Professional, 1 User license for 1 user per site & unlimited printers. Version 7.72

All of the label design and most of the data access of the Enterprise Edition. Network compatible, but not optimized for control by other software.

Delivers – All of the label design and printing features of the Enterprise Edition and most of the advanced data access capabilities, including ODBC. Fully network compatible. Control by other programs limited to a simple command line interface.

Leaves Out – No ActiveX Automation or Commander integration. No SAP IDoc interface. No automatic e-mailing of logged events and errors. Although otherwise network-compatible, Install program will not setup a single BarTender as shareable from multiple workstations.

Basic Edition
