My software says "DEMO" mode at the top, what do I do?
The software does validation checks for anti-piracy checking to ensure you are using a valid copy. If you skip one of the validation checks, the "DEMO" message appears.
Just reactivate as normal by doing the following: Go to Settings, click Activate, and type your activation code plus email address. This will re-activate the software and you will pick up where you left off.
If you get a message that you can not activate, you may either have a computer setting that was recently updated and affected the software, or your license may be out of license installation limit compliance and you would need to request support through our website.

Do you charge for re-activations?
Do you charge for re-activations?
There is no charge to reactivate on a new PC if you perform the installation and activation yourself.
If you attempt to activate or transfer the license to another PC and need our assistance to do it, we will charge you for our technical assistance.
If you own a single PC license and have the license activated more than 3 times in less than 120 days, the license will be temporarily deactivated and you must contact support for validation and authenticity of installation.
Any further activations beyond that require a reactivation charge. Reactivation charges vary based on number of reactivation attempts. The more you reactivate, the higher the charge! Don't let your friends use your license or you will have to pay for it!
Can I transfer my license to a new computer?
Can I transfer my license to a new computer?
You can transfer any of our current supported versions to a new computer at any time. All you need to do is install the program on the new computer and re-enter your License Code to activate again.
When you activate on the new computer, the prior installation will be deactivated automatically. We will automatically record the transfer in our system for future reference if needed. You may transfer or activate your license up to three times before manual activation is required.
Please note, as part of our security measures, if your license has excessive or frequent transfers (more than 3), your license will enter a suspended status and the licensed user will need to contact support to validate which computer the license the license is to be activated on (a reactivation fee may apply for any future activations).

What happens if I violate my License Agreement and try to install it on more PC's than I am allowed?
What happens if I violate my License Agreement and try to install it on more PC's than I am allowed?
We hope you don't even need to read the answer to this question, but if you must know. Remember that EULA you agreed to? We will terminate your rights to that license code and you will be locked out of the software. Even though you own the software license, you are limited to how many PC's it can be activated on at any one time.
If you need to run your business using multiple computers, contact us about purchasing additional installations. We have very economical packages to help you grow without large expenses.
So please, for your own sake, don't try to install on multiple PC's, it won't work, you'll suspend your own license, and we'll know. Excuses are welcome, but we've heard them all before. Again, please don't lose your license rights, we may not sell you another one.
Why do I need to register my license?
Why do I need to register my license?
Because we try to maintain minimal personal information on you, we don't keep any information you don't provide us. So when you purchase, we only know you by the email address you used when purchasing. And since "bubba214@yahoo" can be just about anybody, we don't know your real name and if you call, we can't divulge anything regarding your account.
Registering your license enables you to link a name to your email (even if it is just Jim S.) so that when you submit support requests we know it is the owner emailing us for a question and not a disgruntled employee who plans to steal your code.
If we detect suspicious activity on your license, we'll notify you through email and ask you to confirm any transfers of your license.
What if I forgot what my license is? How do I get it?

What is the difference between "monthly subscription", "annual license" and "lifetime license"?
What is the difference between "monthly subscription", "annual license" and "lifetime license"?
When you purchase a license to use the software, you are able to use the software for an indefinite amount of time within the boundaries of the end user license agreement.
The "lifetime license", which typically are the more expensive licenses, mean you can use the version you purchased in 2003 for years to come.
The "annual license", which typically have more economical pricing, but shorter term use, refers to how long you are entitled to use the software. Purchasing in June of 2005 means you can use the software until June 2006. After which, you will need to renew your license.
The "monthly license", which is typically the lowest cost plan, but only provides monthly uses upon pre-payment. Monthly users receive updates as long as you are paying your account and have not lapsed months, but you do not own the software.
(There are options to "buyout the license" to a lifetime license and receive some credit towards the cost, but it is calculated based on your past payment performance and duration)
