Software Licensing
Your Attaché system is licensed to you by Attaché Software Australia Pty Limited. You are authorised to use any licensed Attaché products while you continue to make payments under the Attaché agreement. Should you discontinue payment, your licence will be cancelled. If your licence is cancelled (or it expires), you can continue to access your Attaché system to enquire on your data. However, you will be unable to edit or delete your data.
Updating your License
In Attaché, once your licensing period has expired you can continue to lookup, enquire and report on existing masterfiles and transactions but you cannot add to, edit or delete your data. You will receive 30 days (or more) warning of the pending expiry. During this time you have the option to update your licence via the internet.
Once the 30-day countdown commences, each time you sign on to Attaché or choose File | Open Company, an information message is displayed advising of the pending licence expiry, Do you wish to update your licence now?
To update your licence, answer Yes and the software will automatically attempt to update your details via the internet. Once completed, the following message is displayed: Your software licence has been updated. Please exit and restart the program for the licence to take effect.
Choose OK to close the dialog and then exit and restart Attaché.
Note
When performing a licence update via the web, Windows Vista users may experience issues connecting to the CBP Members website. This may be due to Windows Vista User Account Control (UAC) being turned on. Turning off User Account Control temporarily (via Control Panel) while you update your licence could resolve this issue.
Upgrading your Software
Attaché Software regularly releases software upgrades which may include changes due to new business regulations as well as new features and enhancements. As a licensed Attaché user, upgrades to all your Attaché products are free of charge.
Upgrades are announced in our email news bulletins and in the secure area of the Attaché Members website. Your consultant will also advise you when upgrades are released.
It's not difficult to upgrade your Attaché system. You can do it yourself by downloading the new version from the secure are of the Attaché Members website, where you'll also find detailed installation instructions.
