Activation Codes Dialog Box

Activation code(s) are included in your initial product installation kit. They can be found on the Fulfillment Confirmation Slip.

To install ATX, you'll use one designated activation code. If you purchased an ATX bundled with payroll functionality, you'll have a second activation code specifically for payroll.

The Activation Codes dialog box can be accessed two ways:

  • When you first install ATX, it appears automatically.
  • From within ATX, select Activate Product(s) from the Support menu to open the Activation Codes dialog box.
