Add Additional User Licenses (i.e. 4D Product ID's)

There are two elements to licensing AcctVantage:

  • 4D licenses - these are issued directly from 4D, Inc. This is the database that AcctVantage is built upon. AV Support does not keep record of your account with 4D.
  • AcctVantage key file - this is a file issued from AV support.

Instructions for both are included below.

1. Open the Update License window

On the computer running the AcctVantage Server application, navigate to Help ➤ Licenses manager ...

Open the Update License window

2. Enter your 4D account credentials

  1. Click on the Instant Activation tab.
  2. Enter the credentials you used to create your account with 4D, Inc. when you first installed/registered AcctVantage.
  3. Click Next to continue.
Enter your 4D account credentials

3. Enter the 4D Product ID(s)

In the email you received (either from AV Support or directly from 4D) you will find your 28 digit key file.

  1. Enter (or copy/paste) this number into the Licence Number field.
  2. Click Next to continue.
    • If you have more 4D User Licenses to enter, click Add No. and then repeat the above steps for each additional User license you need to add.
    • Click Done when you're finished entering licenses.
