The Authorize menu option will update your access rights to new versions, and implement changes in your company data based on the registration on file. You will usually only need to perform this at the initial installation.

 

When you run this command the first time, you will be asked for your 5 digit serial number provided by MasterLink Software.  This number never changes from when you purchased your first license.  The computer will then save the serial number and you will not be asked for it again.  Please do not guess at this number.  If you do not know it, then you must contact support@MasterLinkSoftware.com and we will email the number to you, usually within minutes.

 

The Shop Writer runs an automatic update service, and it will keep your authorization code updated.  This is especially important for people on the Developers Partnership Program ( including Rentals ) because it updates their version eligibility and enables new program features.
