Each installation of BCSS has a serial number associated with it for identification.

To continue to use BCSS after the trial period, an Unlock Code is purchased and entered in BCSS to 'register' ownership.

The Unlock Code is based upon the Serial Number.

When purchasing BCSS, copy/paste the Serial number into an email to Support by clicking on Email Serial Number under Help in BCSS. Support will generate the Unlock Code and email the Code back to you.

Please note that because of the similarity of some characters (like O and 0, l and 1), it is best to not type the Serial Number and Unlock Code. Please always copy and paste using the Windows clipboard.

Locating the Serial Number

Start BCSS. If the BCSS demo period has expired, the serial number will appear on the opening screen. Otherwise, follow these steps for locating the serial number:

• In BCSS, click on Help on the Main Menu.
• Click on Program Registration.
• The serial number is on the left side under 'Serial Number'.
  
  
  If BCSS is not installed as XP Compatible and/or not run as Administrator on a Windows Vista machine, the BCSS serial number may be displayed as the letter 'L' which is an invalid serial number. Follow these steps to uninstall BCSS and install it with Vista.
• Right click on the Serial Number and select Copy.
• Click Close This Window.
• Open a new email message.
• Address it to support.
• In the Subject type BCSS Registration.
• Paste the Serial Number in the message box and enter your name and contact information along with your comments and send the message.

Paste the serial number into the email message and add your contact information, then send.

Entering the Unlock Code

After you have submitted the Serial Number, Payment and the Purchase Order to support, you will receive an email message with the Unlock Code.

• Copy the Unlock Code to the Clipboard.
• Open BCSS.
• Click on Help, Program Registration.
• Click on 'Enter Unlock Code here' then right click and paste (or click in the field and press V while holding down the Control Key.
• Click on Unlock Demo.

If unlock is not successful, first be sure to copy/paste the Unlock Code and not attempt to type it. Some characters look alike: (O 0) (l 1)

Second, make sure the serial # was also copy/pasted (not typed) and sent to support correctly. To verify, copy/paste the serial # into a plain-text editor (like Notepad) and compare it to the Serial Number sent to support. If the numbers are different even by one character, please resend the Serial Number with a request to regenerate the Unlock Code.
