You must have the Add access right to use this command.
The Label command creates a new version of the specified project or file, and assigns your label to that version. However, if you use the -V option to refer to a specific version, the label is simply applied to that version.
If you assign a label to a version that already has a label, or if you assign a label to an item that already uses that label for a different version, the old label is replaced. In either case, VSS issues a warning before replacing the old label.
If you specify multiple items on the command line, VSS prompts you for a different label for each item. The -C option asks for only one label, which VSS applies to all the items you have listed. The -L option bypasses the label prompt entirely by specifying the label on the command line, for example, -L2.00b.
