Activation Code And License Use

General Licensing Terms

All standard activation codes provided as part of the SOLO, PLUS and PRO packages are strictly for personal use only. This means you may only use them for businesses which are owned, operated and registered to you.

You must not use any of these activation codes to license businesses for clients or customers. We do provide accountant license options (which you can find inside the member section) if you need licenses for use for client businesses. These are available for an additional purchase.

We periodically check our licensing system for any potential infringements and will verify ownership of sites through various checks including server IP address and Whois services.

In the event that we cannot verify ownership of a business licensed inside your account we may require further proof that businesses licensed are owned, operated and registered to you. This may include requirement to provide proof of ownership.

In the event that sufficient proof is not provided, or we find evidence of misuse of our licensing system, we reserve the right to cancel activation codes or accounts without notice or recourse.

Sub-licensing Templates

Sub-licensing is not permitted under the terms of our license.

Sub-licensing is any use of a license for a business which is not under your name.

If you are providing access to templates licensed under your account to another individual for them to operate and administer their transactions (except any team members working on your business for you) - this would most likely be considered a breach of our agreement under the sub-licensing terms.

If any Excel accounting templates you are using for the benefit of another business, these should be licensed under a specifically purchased accountant license key.
