created on the registration server. User will be prompted to enter information related to this account.

Click the Charge Card to authorize payment online. Each payment type has a preset address / zip match level for credit card transactions.
If a credit card is approved but the AVS match result received from Vital doesn't enter in appropriate values for this match level the transaction is void and the registration process fails.
If it is successful all your registration information will be stored in the database, you will be given the Free Accounting registration number and your credit card will be charged with the amount specified for this license.

All the registration information will not be stored in this case.
- If the data you provided are valid the Free Accounting registration will be successful. Click on the Receipt button to get a receipt.

RE-REGISTRATION OF THE EXISTING CUSTOMER
Re-registration is used in case when several customers share the same account (for example, to install several copies
of the Free Accounting product on different machines) or for re-registration of the same copy of the Free Accounting application. This registration
type can also be used to avoid paying twice for the same registration if the first registration was unsuccessful but your account was already charged.
To start the process of re-registration:
- Run the program by clicking on the
Accounting icon on the desktop and press the Register button or select Help / Register from the Free Accounting Main Toolbar and press the Register button.

- Follow the steps of the Free Accounting registration wizard. Click the Next button.

- Agree to the terms of the Free Accounting license agreement and click the Next button.

- Enter your Customer Unique Number, confirm it and click the Next button.

If there is already a user account with such Customer Unique Number in the database, this window will be
displayed. You will be asked to enter the exact e-mail address (case sensitive) used in the initial Free Accounting registration
(it is a password for your account). You have three attempts to enter a correct e-mail, otherwise the wizard
exits. Click Ok to continue.

If the email address isn't correct the following window will be displayed.

- If the e-mail address (password) is correct, the user may update the name and the company on the
Customer Information screen (the e-mail address will not be displayed to the users who are returning to the registration wizard).

- In the Payment Types drop-down list select Already registered \ reregistration if you want
to re-register the Free Accounting application. Click the Next button.

- The user will see all the registrations for all computers which used the current account identifier
(Customer Unique Number). Each registration have a limited number of attempts to re-register. Select one
and click the Next button.

- Free Accounting registration will be successful if there were some attempts left, otherwise you'll be informed that registration
was unsuccessful and prompted to refer to the Free Accounting customer support for additional re-registration.
