Entering Registration Information

Hint: Some versions of Windows may require you to run FileBoss in administrator mode to enter the registration key and have it remembered. If FileBoss is having trouble remembering the registration information, exit FileBoss, right-click over FileBoss's icon and select Run as Administrator, enter the key and then exit and restart FileBoss.

You can bring up this dialog from the Trial Reminder screen, the Expiration Notification (displayed when the trial period has expired) or by using the Help > Enter Registration Key... command from the main menu.

If you copy the email to the clipboard before calling this dialog FileBoss will attempt to register itself immediately. If successful FileBoss will tell you and let you get back to work immediately.

If you have an email with the registration name and key, simply copy the whole email to the clipboard and then press the Paste from Clipboard button.

Alternately you can type in or paste the name and key code into their respective fields individually.
