More about purchasing and registering

The steps to purchasing an Ability product are as follows:

1.	Connect to the PC Plus website.

2.	Locate either the standard or special ordering page for Ability Office 98.

3.	You will be asked for your personal details and credit card number. All this will take place on a secure server.

4.	You will be emailed back confirmation of the order. This will contain either a two-part serial number or separate registration codes for User Name, User Organization and Product Key.

5.	If you receive the two-part serial number which consists of your Ability User Reference and your Product Key, it will look like this:

Serial # :  NS-123-456::12345678-12345-12345

6.	In this example, your registration details are as follows:

Your Ability User Reference is NS-123-456

Your Product Key is 12345678-12345-12345

7.	If you receive separate registration codes you will find they correspond directly to the fields in the registration screen.

8.	Once you have identified the different components, enter your registration details into the registration screen – for full instructions on how to do this, see Registering your Serial # .

Support

If you have any problems with the registration process, contact Ability Software's support staff by email: pcplus_support@ability.com.


Registering your Serial #

Follow these steps:

1.	Start the Ability application you have purchased (or any one of the applications within Ability Office 98 if you purchased the entire suite).

2.	Select the About command from the Help Menu.

3.	Select the Register button to open the Register screen.

Note: If your trial period expired before you got chance to enter your Serial # details, the registration screen will be displayed immediately.

4.	Enter your Name or Ability User Reference in the Name field. Note that this must be exactly as shown in the Email you receive after your purchase – including whatever capitalization was used. It is important to enter exactly what is detailed in the email.

5.	If you received the two-part Serial Number, leave the Organization field blank. If a separate Organization code was specified in the email you received then enter it exactly as presented.

6.	Enter your Product Key in the Product Key field. Use the exact syntax as stated in the Email we send you.

7.	When the Product Key is completed and Ability verifies that this matches the entries in the Name and Organization fields, the OK button is enabled.

Your Ability software is now fully registered. Any further updates added to this installation will not require re-registration.

Thank you for choosing Ability software…


More about Serial #

•	A two-part Serial # consists of your Ability User Reference and your Product Key, and looks like this:

Serial # :  NS-123-456::12345678-12345-12345

•	In this example, your registration details are as follows:

Your Ability User Reference is NS-123-456

Your Product Key is 12345678-12345-12345

•	Standard registration details specify separate entries for User Name, User Organization and Product Key. Collectively these can still be thought of as your Serial #.

•	Your Serial # is your own personal, unique code that identifies you as the owner of the software.

•	When turning trial versions of Ability into full versions, the Serial # is always supplied by email after confirmation of order.

•	Your Serial # will allow you to install Ability on any PC at any time. Should you change your PC, you can enter your existing User References and Product Key in the Registration screen of the new installation.

•	When contacting Ability Software for any reason, we can use your User References or Product Key to enable easy identification of you as the owner of the software.
