When you create a product in MES and buy an EAN code for it, the EAN is visible only after the upload of the product. Sometimes you need the EAN before, for example for your physical CD.

You can purchase up to 25 EAN/ISRC codes at once beforehand and save them as image files. Go to “Extras“ and click “Buy EAN/ISRC code“. A new window opens. Choose the number of EANs/ISRCs you want to buy and confirm with “Buy EAN now“ or “Buy ISRC now”.

 

 

After the purchase has been completed, the EAN codes are displayed as bar codes. You can click each code, change the size and save it by clicking the “Save” icon either as a .txt-file (code displayed in numbers) or as an image (e.g. .jpg or .emf).

 

You can print the code, send it via e-mail or save it.

 

Tip:

If you would like to use the EAN for the artwork of your physical CD, save the barcode as .emf file. This vector format is preferred by graphic designers.

 

Important:

Save your EAN/ISRC codes as image and/or text file on your local computer. They are not archived in MES. As soon as you close the window, the EAN/ISRC codes are not available anymore!

 

The purchased codes are in your possession and will remain valid even after ending your contract with Rebeat.
