Labeler: How to convert earlier-version label files to Labeler v7 format

in Version 7

Labeler v7 can only automatically convert labels from v6 format to v7. Older version label files must first be converted to v6. You can do this by downloading Labeler v6 from https://dl.waspbarcode.com/wasp/LabelerV6.exe then install using the demo key, 0529-90915-06091-01776. When you open the label in that version, it will tell you it is from an older version. Then you need to resave it, and it will save it in v6 format.

Once you have the labels in v6 format, you can open them in v7, and repeat the process of resaving them in the new version. In the Open dialog box, you'll need to change the filetype popdown menu (to the right of the File Name field) to All Labeler files (*.labx,*.lab).

As with most conversion processes, there can be issues, so carefully review the converted document for objects that did not convert as expected. If so, the general workaround is to recreate the object in the new version. Some potential problems:
- Rotated objects (especially barcodes) tend not to get converted right.
- Objects set to prompt for information at print time may not convert right.
- Substrings may not convert properly to String Builder objects.
 
If you would rather have us convert the labels for you, we can do that as a paid service for $149/hour, 1 hour minimum. If you have too many labels to be done in an hour, we would need to charge additional time.
