Q: What is the difference between a "Single copy" and a "Site license"?
A: A "Single copy” registration authorizes the installation of one program on one computer. A "Site license” registration authorizes the program installation on unlimited number of systems at one physical location, individually or as part of a network. Exception: If a user transports the database between home and work for scheduling purposes, only a "Single copy" registration is required. *** You must have a Site License registration code in order to access the Network Path function
Q: I have purchased a Single registration, and wish to transport my schedules between my home computer/laptop to my office computer. How can that be done?
A: As part of a Single Registration, you can install Scheduling Employees on your home computer, as well as your work computer. In order to create or edit your schedules in both places, you will have to transport your database back and forth between work and home. The best way to do this is to invest in a USB drive. It doesn’t need to be a large capacity drive, most database files are under 10 MB.
1. On your work computer, insert your USB drive. From the Opening Screen, select File, then Backup database. Save this file (sew.bak) to your USB drive
2. Insert your USB drive into your home computer. From the Opening Screen, go to File, then Restore database, and select the .bak file from your USB drive.
You can use the Backup/Restore function to transport your schedules back to your work computer.
Q: How long can I use the programs before I need to register/buy?
A: Each priced program can be used up to 30 days before you need to register for further use. As you use the program, you will be reminded on the number of days left. If you need more time, let us know and we can extend that time.
When updating to a later version, your current database will be safe.
Q: What happens after I register?
A: When you register, you will receive a registration code by email that will clear any references to trial software. You will be prompted to enter and save the registration code after the program starts. If you are upgrading from a Single to a Site License, you can change your registration code by selecting Help from the opening screen, then Enter New Registration Code.
Q: How do I locate my registration code?
A: Go to "My Account" and click on the tab My Orders. There you will find a receipt of your purchase. Click on View registration code. If you have lost or forgotten your username, please contact us. If you have lost or forgotten your password, click on Forgot Password? link and follow the prompts to reset your password. If you have an older version of Scheduling Employees, your registration code will not be listed under your account.
