Setup: Activation Hardware in Software

For the software to work with your time clock device you will need a Product Activation Key which matches your devices serial number and you will need to connect your device to your computer using its USB cable.

Later if you wish to use your device on a network (if your hardware supports it) you can change the connection to network from the 'Setup Device' button found in the main device manager window.

During the first setup steps you will be presented with the add new device window.

Note: You must complete this procedure to use the software, it is required for software registration and activation and if you wish to communicate (sync) with your time clock device over USB or Network.

You can skip this procedure during the trial period but you must do this procedure prior to registration and activation.

Online activation is available when you purchase your device directly from us or an approved distributor, you computer will need an internet connection.

Online activation is quick and easy to do, but MUST be done within 14 days of your purchase!

You will need to connect your device to your computer using its supplied USB cable. (Note on many devices the USB cable is also the power cable, the same cable can be unplugged from the mains power adapter and plugged into you computers USB socket, power will then be supplied to the device from your computer). When you have plugged the USB cable into your computer you will probably need to switch the device on using the OK key.
