4. Registering Checkout

4.1 Getting to the Register Window

The first step in registering your product is to get to the registration window. To do so, go to the Checkout menu and select the Registration option.

4.2 Finding Your Serial Number

Once you are in the registration window, the next step is to locate your serial number. The serial number is a 12 digit number in the following format — 7XXXXXXXXXXX — and can be located either in the booklet that came with your Checkout software, or in the confirmation email you received upon purchasing the software from the Checkout website. If you cannot locate your serial number or have lost it please contact Checkout Customer Service. If you have any errors during registration, please follow the instructions available within the FAQs or contact Checkout Customer Service.

4.3 Registering Your Product

Once you have obtained your serial number, it is time for you to register the product. The registration is an online process because it allows the software to communicate with the registration servers, which take the serial number and your machine ID and tie them together. This helps to prevent manual registration errors that could complicate the process. To begin the registration process, go to the Checkout menu and choose Registration. Once in the registration window, you will be prompted to enter your name, email address, company name, phone number, physical address and serial number. You must then agree to the License Agreement. Please review the License Agreement by clicking on the appropriate button. When you’ve entered your serial number, agreed to the License Agreement and hit the Submit button, your data will be sent to the registration servers. If the Submit button is unavailable, please verify that there are no blank fields and that you've read and agreed to the License Agreement.

If there are any errors during registration, please follow the instructions available within the FAQs or contact Checkout Customer Service.

Once your information has been received by the registration servers, confirmed, and properly received by Checkout, a certificate will appear on your screen showing that you are the registered user of the software.

4.4 Deactivating Your License

Should you ever need to deactivate your license, you simply need to go back to the Registration option in the Checkout menu. Once there, your certificate will appear. At the bottom of that certificate, click on the Deactivate button. You will be prompted to confirm that you wish to deactivate the product. To do so, click Deactivate. Once the license has been deactivated, you will be brought back to the registration screen. You can now use the serial number to activate the software on another machine by following the steps outlined in Section 4.3.

4.5 What Happens if I Do Not Register My Software?

If you do not register your Checkout software within 30 days, the application will no longer work for you. Your store's data will remain intact, however, you will not have access to your Store until you register the product. You will need to register the software properly to continue using Checkout beyond the 30 day trial period.
