Q-Barcode comes with it's own self-extracting setup file. Just double-click on the QBCDEMO.EXE file and follow all on-screen prompts. This demo is fully operational.

Please take a moment to review the software license agreement. 

3. Frequently Asked Questions:

How do I get a Barcode for my company or myself?
All retail products sold in the US have a UPC or Uniform Product Code somewhere on the product. This code is comprised of two parts. The first part of the symbol identifies the manufacturer of the product (you). The Uniform Code Council (UCC) assigns manufacturers these unique numbers to be used in making a UPC symbol for your product. You can contact the council at:
