Q. What is the quickest and easiest way to install the demo?

It is recommended that, unless you are an experienced user, you use all the system defaults offered. This will install your program into the Program Files folder and create shortcuts on your desktop, quick-start and Start | Programs sections.

There is a ReadMe.txt file that you will find in the C:\ProgramFiles\Sentinel Register\Administration folder that explains in detail the installation routine.

If you decide, after using the demonstration system, that you would like to buy Sentinel Register, please select Setup and System details from the menu and use F1 Help, attached to that screen, to guide you through the process.

Once we receive your information, sent automatically from the program, and receive notification from the payment service that your payment has been processed we will send you a Customer Code to unlock your program.

The amount due depends upon the number of guns you wish to record in Register.

In order to get your copy of Register correctly licensed you must go to the Setup | System Details menu option and using F1 follow the help provided. When you reach the PayPal payment page just close the browser, ignoring the opportunity to make the payment.

The procedure outlined in the help will guide you through and automatically transmits your registration details to our on line registration system. This will enable us to return your Customer Code in order to complete the Licensing process. Your code will be sent by email as soon as your cheque has cleared.

Q. Is it possible to run two copies of Register on one computer?
Technically it is not possible to run more than one copy on the same Computer. The system holds the location of the data and therefore each of your copies of Register would still be going to the same dataset.
