Set-up, Licence

If you have downloaded or been given a demonstration copy of Durell it won’t be accompanied by a floppy disk with your licence. Hence your system will be in the name of “Demonstration Company Ltd” and you’ll be limited to one concurrent user (i.e. you can add user names, but only one will be able to use the system at a time).

When you purchase a licence (e.g. to “Financial Adviser” for two concurrent users) you’ll be sent the licence files on a floppy disk or by email. The licence will display your company name on the Main Menu and enable the number of users you have requested to work concurrently.

To licence your system via files sent by email...

· Save the attached licence files (n.b. usually 3 files called SCREEN.INI, PRINT.INI and LICENCE.TXT) in the root of your hard drive (e.g. “C:\ ” but NOT in a folder like “C:\Durell licence\”)

· Click the “Set-up” button on the Main Menu

· Double-click “Licence” in the options list on the right of the Set-up screen

· Click “Update licence details from drive” and select your hard drive (e.g. (C: )

· Click the “OK” button to start the licence update

To licence your system via a floppy disk...

· Click the “Set-up” button on the Main Menu

· Double-click “Licence” in the options list on the right of the Set-up screen

· Click “Update licence details from drive” and select Floppy Drive A

· Insert your licence floppy disk in your floppy drive A:\

· Click the “OK” button to start the licence update from the floppy

To prevent piracy the system will still be limited to a number of months. The next refresh date is displayed on the Set-up screen. Before this date Durell will send you either a free replacement licence floppy disk, or simply a new licence number in a letter. To enter the latter, proceed as above, but without selecting the “from drive” option.
