We recommend BarTender 2016 users update to BarTender 2022 by taking advantage of the 2022 Version Update Promotion - which is still available until December 31, 2022. The promotion is outlined here.
Reasons to update from BarTender 2016
BarTender 2016 software will continue to operate after April 30, 2023, but users will no longer be able to:
- Access BarTender technical support
- Receive new security updates, regardless of severity
- Add new printers, regardless of having active maintenance and support
As for any business system, users running unsupported software expose their organizations and extended ecosystems to crippling security threats like ransomware as well as potential fines from Global Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for privacy noncompliance, whether they realize it or not.
Don't wait - contact your BarTender 2016 users today!
You can export a list of each of the BarTender 2016 licenses sold by your team over the years from the Partner Portal and use it to reach out to your users to help them move up to BarTender 2022 now.
If you need help getting onto the portal, please get in touch with your BarTender account team.
Sincerely,
The BarTender team
