Use the following steps to start the Free Accounting Registration Process:
  1. Run the program by clicking on the Free Accounting icon Accounting icon on the desktop and click the Register button or select Help / Register from the Free Accounting Main Toolbar and click the Register button.

    Unregistered version of Free Accounting

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

    Registration process. Welcome

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

    Registration process. License agreement

  4. Enter your Customer Unique Number, confirm it and click the Next button. Customer Unique Number is the Unique Identifier and is given by the local bank or some other acquirer the merchant has business arrangement with for authorization and settlement services. This Number uniquely identifies the location of the transaction. In Free Accounting the merchant Id is always guaranteed to be unique for a company.

    Registration process. Customer unique number

  5. If there is no customer with such Customer Unique Number in the database, a new user account is created on the registration server. User will be prompted to enter information related to this account. Type in your name, the name of the company and the e-mail address.

    Registration process. Merchant information

    Subsequently the Customer Unique Number will be used as the user name and e-mail as the password for this Free Accounting account.

  6. Type in the Customer's address, city, state, postal code, country, phone #. All the fields are required. Click the Next button.

      Enter the credit card information. The Free Accounting Registration automatically detects the type of the credit card if its number is valid.

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 voided and the registration process fails. If it is successful all your registration information will be saved to 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.

      - In the Payment Types drop-down list select the Reseller ID or Activation Code option if you want to pay to the Reseller for the registration. Click the Next button.
