Licensing Your Loan Accounting Software System 

When you purchase your loan accounting system, you will be given a key code to convert the evaluation system to the fully licensed system.  There are only two differences between the demo and the fully licensed system:

 1 - The Evaluation version includes "- Evaluation License - in the title bar.

 2 - The Evaluation version includes a message in the main window, "Evaluation Copy. Expires:  mm/dd/yyyy

 3 - The evaluation version is time limited. It will quit working a few weeks after you receive it.  quit working does not mean anything sinister. It will not damage your system or your data. It will simply print a message that the demonstration period has expired and then return to Windows. 

 Entering Your Key Code

The Evaluation version cannot be unlocked. You must download and install the latest update before the key codes will work. The upgrade program will require a password. You will receive the password when you receive the key codes. Your key code will consist of two parts, an installation date and a serial number. When these two items are entered, the Evaluation label will no longer appear and the time limit will no longer apply. 

 When you have received your serial number and installation date codes and after you have upgraded your evaluation system with the latest upgrade program,  start the system and log in as supervisor.

 From the Main Menu Bar, select  Administration then  System Data Maintenance then Current System Options.  The Current System Options dialog will be displayed.  (S-309)

 Select the tab labeled System Options 2.

 Enterprise System Screen (S-309) 

 

 

 

Entering the Codes

Notice the two fields labeled Serial No and Install Date. This is where you will enter your key information.

 Click the EDIT button. The backgrounds of the text boxes will turn white and you will be allowed to edit the information.

 Enter your serial number and installation date in the appropriate boxes.

 Click on the SAVE button.

 Click on the EXIT button.

 When the Current System Options dialog closes the Evaluation message will be gone.

 Possible Problems

 If you enter the date wrong, the machine may beep and complain about an invalid date. If this happens, you cannot do anything until you correct the date.

 If you enter the date and serial number correctly and the Evaluation"  message does not disappear, we made a mistake in your license information. Dont spend time attempting to reenter it. Call Bottom Line Software.
