NOTE
Please note that this screen lists only one System Administrator module.
Although Data Pro Accounting Software offers two (2) choices of this product (the Standard or Client/Server SQL version), you will only see the version you have purchased on the screen. This Serial Number’s first three characters represent the actual part number of the product and therefore, the actual ver-sion of the System Administrator you are installing. If your Serial Number does not include the correct part number for what you believe you should be installing at this time, please contact Data Pro Accounting Software or your Dealer immediately. The possible choices for part numbers are:
Standard Version (Part #100)
Client/Server SQL Version (Part #695)
If you do not have a Registration File, you may continue the installation process and allow the software to be in-stalled in “Demo Mode.” This will allow you to evaluate the software until such time you receive your Registra-tion file. “Demo Mode” does have file size limitaRegistra-tions and other restricRegistra-tions that will prevent you from completely being able to process on-line, but does allow you to get started.
