If you've downloaded a trial version or Student version of this software, you don't need to activate your company file. In the Activation window, select the option I use this file for practice, evaluation or study purposes.

A Test Drive version can be used for 30 days before the file becomes read-only. Note that student versions are transaction limited, so the file will become read-only once the transaction limit has been reached.

In read-only mode, you can still view, print and export your business information; however, you won't be able to enter any new information.

If you decide to purchase the full version of the AccountRight software, you'll be able to activate the company file you created in the Test Drive or Student version and continue to enter new transactions.
