You can accept this setting and click Save. Or use the Browse 5 button to navigate to (or create) a folder to store your Licence File. Close EMPDUPE Maker. Save (do not open) the Licence File attached to your registration email into the selected Licence File location. When you next run EMPDUPE Maker, it will check the Licence File, and if found will open as Registered - the word Demo will no longer appear and the Help > About (from the Help menu - not online Help) screen will display your licence details - check your name appears here. If you have purchased a multi-user licence, each User will need to install and register EMPDUPE Maker. Payer Details EMPDUPE Maker is designed to support multiple Payers, their details being stored in the Payer List which is a permanent file. You will need to enter the Payer details (including ABN and ABN Code) into the Payer List. This only needs to be done once. Start EMPDUPE Maker, click the Payer button on the main screen, then the 'Select from Payer List' button. On the Payer List screen, click the Add button, then enter the Payer Details and click the Save button. To use this Payer in an EMPDUPE file, you need to tick this Payer on the Payer List screen, and click the 'Select for Report' button. Payer Details - Multi User By default, the Payer List is stored under each user's Documents Folder, and this is suitable where each user has their own Payers. However if several users will generate Payment Summaries etc for the same Payers, you can set things up so all users can access and use the same Payer List. To do this, the first user to install EMPDUPE Maker should set the location for the Payer List file in a shared location - this setting is made under File - Preferences. The user should enter the Payer Details for at least one Payer into the Payer List. To do this start EMPDUPE Maker, click the Payer button on the main screen, then the 'Select from Payer List' button. On the Payer List screen, click the Add button, then enter the Payer Details and click the Save button. Once a Payer has been entered, the Payer List file will be created. Subsequent users who install EMPDUPE Maker should select the same location as specified by the first user. They will see a message advising that EMPDUPE Maker will use the existing Payer List in that location. Supplier Details To save re-entering Supplier details, a user can complete the fields on the Supplier screen, then click Set as Default. This will save the details under your user profile and can be loaded for subsequent reports.
