Follow the steps below to de-register Software Assistant from your computer.

1. Open Register Assistant (run a search for this application via your Windows Start Menu)
2. Un-tick the modules that you wish to de-register.
3. A message will appear asking if you would like to de-register the module, click 'Yes'.
4. Click on the 'Register' button.
5. The registration form will connect to our server and de-register the selected modules from your computer.

You can now register Software Assistant on another computer.

If no activation codes appear when you click try to register Assistant, check to make sure no firewall programs are blocking the registration form from accessing our server. This is common with CA, Norton, BitDefender, Trend and Avast Anti-virus. Either disable the firewall completely or add an exception to allow “register.exe” to access the internet. This file can be found in the following location:  C:\Program Files (x86)\Software Assistant\Assistant

If you receive a “Cannot find server” error message, check that your Internet connection is active and try again.

If you are still unable to register, you may be able to register the software manually.

This error occurs when there is no Clients.DB file in the folder you are trying to link Assistant with. Verify that your data directory is correct. You must have a Clients.DB file in your data directory. If not, you are either pointing to the wrong directory, or you may have a corrupt DB file.

You may need to 'Configure BDE' if your database is on a server or network drive.

1. Open Register Assistant via the Windows Start Menu (run a search for the application)
2. Click on Advanced
3. Ensure the Data directory path is correct
4. Click on Configure BDE
5. Close the form
6. Re-run the update or upgrade.

You will most likely come across this after installing onto a new computer or after an update.

1. Open Register Assistant via the Windows Start Menu (run a search for this application)
2. Ensure the software is showing as registered. Complete the registration process otherwise.

This problem can be caused by the computers on the network having a different database path to one another.

1. Make sure everyone on the network has logged out of Software Assistant.
2. Go to Assistant’s Data folder, usually 'C:\ProgramData\Software Assistant\Assistant\Data', unless your data is on a network drive.
3. Locate the following files 'PDOXUSRS.NET' and 'PROXUSRS.LCK' and delete these files if present.
4. Open Register Assistant via the Windows Start Menu (search for this application)
5. Click on Advanced
6. Check that the data directory is correct in the registration form then click on the 'Configure BDE' button.
7. Repeat the above step on all computers. Make sure all computers have the same data path (the drive letter can be different but the rest of the path to Software Assistant’s data has to be identical on all computers).
8. Open Verify and backup data via the Windows Start Menu (search for this application). 
9. Tick the first three boxes only and click on ‘Proceed.’
10. Attempt to run Software Assistant on all computers.
