Finding the serial number and activation key

You will need your serial number and activation key to install Sage Timeslips, register Sage Timeslips, and to receive technical support (if necessary). Sage sent this information to you in a Product Activation email message shortly after your order.

Understanding single-user configurations

When using Sage Timeslips, a single-user installation refers to any installation that has one station license. This will be indicated on your invoice by a User Count of 00001.

Some example single-user installations include:

• Single-user installation with one computer – If you purchased a single license of Sage Timeslips and you own a single computer, the program files and database will reside on this computer.
• Single-user installation on a network workstation with the database on a different network workstation – If you purchased a single station license of Sage Timeslips and your workstation is connected to a network, you can install Sage Timeslips on your local workstation and maintain your Sage Timeslips database on that same workstation only. The Sage Timeslips database must reside on a local hard drive on this workstation.
• Single-user installation on a network workstation with the database on a network drive – If you purchased a single station license of Sage Timeslips and your workstation is connected to a network, you will not be able to maintain a database across the network. The Sage Timeslips database must reside on a local hard drive on this workstation.
