====== Serial Numbers ======

Liberty is protected against unauthorized use, duplication by the Software License Agreement, United States Copyright Law and by the issuance of a **Serial Number** that is unique to each installation.

Liberty can be run in a limited capacity Demo Mode (No **Serial Number** or Incorrect **Serial Number**), or in a Temporary Mode (Time-limited temporary **Serial Number**).

In demo mode, the following limitations apply.

  * No more than 20 accounts can be added.
  * No more than 100 items can be added.
  * No more than 50 auctions can be created.
  * Liberty is set to single-user, and thus only one PC can connect to the Liberty database at a time.
  * Liberty will be locked 90 days after initial installation, unless/until a valid serial number is entered. \\ In temporary mode, the following restriction applies.
  * Liberty will be locked 90 days after initial installation, unless/until a valid permanent serial number is entered.

===== To Enter Serial Numbers =====

Make sure you are operating Liberty in Real Mode and not in Training Mode. If you are in Training Mode, the words Training Mode will blink at the bottom of the screen in black print on a yellow background. See [[tutorial:trainingmode|Training Mode]] for more details.

  - From the **Main Menu**, select **Help > Enter Serial Number**. \\ {{libertyreact:lib:newitem1721.png|NewItem1721.png}} \\ The **Enter Serial Number** dialog will display. \\ {{libertyreact:lib:newitem122.png|NewItem122.png}}
  - Enter your unique **Resaleworld** **ID number** in the **RSW ID** field. If you do not have this number, please contact **Resaleworld**.
  - Enter your **Store Name** as it appears in the **Store Name** field in the **Store Information** dialog (**Setup > Options > Store Info**.).
  - Enter the name of your store as it appears in the **Tag Name** field, which is also in the **Store Information** dialog. (The **Tag Name** is the name of your store as it appears on Price Tags and Labels).
  - Enter the serial number in the **Serial Number** field. Your **Serial Number** may be found with the Liberty Installation DVD and/or in an e-mail from your sales representative. If you do not have this number, contact **Resaleworld**.
  - If you are given an expire date, please enter that date into the **Expire Date** field.
  - Click the **OK** button.

== WARNING! Entering a Store Name or Tag Name in the Store Information field that is different from the ones provided to Resaleworld when your serial number was created will keep you in Demonstration Mode. Demonstration Mode limits use of the software to a maximum of 20 accounts and 50 auctions launched. Only one set of serial numbers will be issued for each individual software license. If your store changes its name, or you wish to change the name of your store as it appears on price tags, please contact Resaleworld. Please note there is a charge for this service that is separate from any support contracts. ==

Note: It’s a good idea to store your serial number in more than one place. Doing so may eliminate the need to contact **Resaleworld** should they ever need to be re-entered.
