Installation > Licensing Resort Hotel

Upon installation, Resort Hotel will self license to run for a 30 day trial period. After this period you must obtain a permanent licence key from Resort Software. This is a one-time step that only needs to be done once per Resort Hotel installation.

Before licensing Resort Hotel, please read the License Agreement. This statement explains the terms and conditions under which you are granted the use of this application.

To license Resort Hotel

Start Resort Hotel. If you are unsure of how to start the program see Starting Resort Hotel.

Occasionally, Resort Hotel will display the License Dialog. This dialog reminds you of how long you have remaining on your trial licence and displays an install code of mixed letters and digits. i.e. 'B0LZ-RYMP-LWLN-RXRN'.

NOTE: If you choose not to note the installation code at this point you can find it later by selecting the 'License' option from the Tools Menu. This will take you to the License Dialog.

Note down this install code and send it to Resort Software, or your Resort Software distributor.

Select the Contacting Resort Software option from Help to obtain the contact details for Resort Software Pty. Ltd. You can either phone, fax or email the installation code to us. Upon receipt of payment for your purchase, Resort Software will issue a permanent license key. To provide the permanent license key, we will require the installation code and the name of the user the program is to be registered to. Once provided, Resort Software will generate an installation key for your permanent Resort Hotel installation. You can work on your Resort Hotel database throughout the 30 day trial period and all data entered will be saved. All work done in the trial period will remain fully accessible after you have licensed your copy of the program.

When you receive your installation key, re-start Resort Hotel and enter the installation key, as sent to you by Resort Software, and the registered name, then click the "Save Key" button in the Resort Hotel License Dialog.

NOTE: If you're running Microsoft Vista, you will need to right click on the program's desktop icon and select "Run as Administrator" to open up the program and enter your licence key and registered user name and hit the "Save" button. A dialog will appear to let you know if you have been successful or not. If successful, you can now use the program as you normally would. Next time you open the program, you can just double click on the desktop icon without logging in as an Administrator. If you don't enter the key under Administrator privileges in Microsoft Vista, the key may not be saved and you will need to re-enter it.

The installation key will look something like this: 000KV6-QRQ6JE-8GFKCQ-T5BHWC-7MW7F4-5PJWMF-XWB3T8

Once you have licensed Resort Hotel you can run the program at any time.

If you get a later copy of Resort Hotel, you can install this new version over your existing version WITHOUT needing to re-license the program.

NOTE: Each Resort Hotel installation generates a unique install code for each computer. If you should delete and then re-install Resort Hotel on the same machine, you may re-enter the original licence key to licence your copy.
