### Output to the CheckPoint Database

When you choose to output the to the CheckPoint database, the generated Serial Numbers and all associated meta data are uploaded to the CheckPoint Server. Note that if you wish to use Automated Activation of your Serial Numbers, you must output them to the CheckPoint Server.

### Output to Printed Labels

Note that you can always select Serial Numbers you previously uploaded to the CheckPoint database in the Project Properties dialog and print them later - you do not have to print them when you first generate them.

When you choose to output your serial numbers to printed labels, you may choose to have a "Prefix" printed in-line just before each serial number on the label. If so, enter that value in the edit box provided. You can also choose whatever font you like that is installed on your system. If you want to change it or view what font is currently selected, click the font button .

These options (prefix and font) can be set to any default you like in the License Managers Options dialog. See: CheckPoint Serial Numbers Options.

Supported label format: currently, the print output supports the single format:

| Label Dimensions: 3.4375" X 0.667" Margins: Top 0.5", Bottom 0.5", Left 0.5", Right 0.5" Labels per sheet: 30

This label format is commercially available from the following manufacturers:

### Output to a Text File

Note that you can always select Serial Numbers you previously uploaded to the CheckPoint database in the Project Properties dialog and output them to a text file later - you do not have to create the text file when you first generate them.

When you choose to output your serial numbers to a text file, simply enter a file name to use for the file. You can click the browse button to browse for a folder to use. The folder you choose to create the file in must already exist. If the file itself already exists - it will be overwritten.

Once you have completed choosing the output methods, click "Finish" to continue.
