@Lam, Xin Le Thank you for reaching out to us, As I understand you are looking for details on AIP Unified labelling client/registry details.

we recommend you use you labeling that's built into Office apps, even if you have the Azure Information Protection (AIP) unified labeling client installed. The AIP add-in is now disabled by default in the latest versions of Office apps.
