Creating a Store Number to Use
Until
the software is registered, The Ultimate will be in store number 999,
which is the demonstration mode. The demonstration mode has all
the features of the regular software, with the exception that it will
only hold a maximum of 100 Customers and Rentals. Once the
software is purchased, an access code will be given which will allow you
to create a permanent store which has unlimited record storage.
At that time you can begin filling in all the System Tables Setup screens, and start to enter your data. If you are having a file conversion from your old system, then follow the instructions which come with the conversion software.
Many of the default setup questions from the demonstration store will be created in the new store. The salesperson's code will remain 999 until you change it.
