Import a licence

Download the licence file from the customer portal and import this file into Profit.

You must be an administrator in Profit and must have the Administrator role in the AFAS Customer Portal:.

To manually download and import a new licence:

  1. Go to: Options / Log on as administrator.

    Profit shows the user name of the administrator. You added this administrator when you started up Profit for the first time after installation.

  2. Enter the administrator's password.
  3. Click on: OK.
  4. Go to: Management / Licence.
  5. Click on: Download. You are then logged on to your customer portal automatically and your own organisation data is displayed.

    If you are not taken straight to the AFAS Customer Portal:, follow these steps.

  6. Click on: Get licence code for the relevant Profit subscription.
  7. Click on: Save.
  8. Return to Profit.
  9. Click on: Import.
  10. Find the licence file (with the extension .alc) that you just saved.
  11. Click on: Open.

    The data in the licence file is automatically copied to the wizard for entering the licence.

  12. Click on: Finish. 

If the new licence gives you access to more or fewer functions than the old licence, you now need to convert the environment. This may take some time.
