How is your software delivered?

You download and install the software. After subscribing online, you’ll receive an email receipt that contains a link to download an installation file. So you can start using the software right away. The same is true for telephone orders. The preceding applies to the main MoneySoft applications. For the third-party data products RMA, BIZCOMPS and Done Deals, a MoneySoft rep will contact you after your order to give you access and instructions. Integra Industry Reports are delivered via an email file attachment.

02

Do I need to activate the software before I can start using it?

You can start using the main applications right away without activating them. There is an exception for third-party data products. Third-party data products require that you purchase a separate license and need to be activated before use. For the main applications, you have 60 days to activate and register on each computer. To activate, please have the program opened, call 800-966-7797 and ask for Product Registration, or go to MoneySoft.com and start a live chat session during normal business hours (Monday-Friday, 8:30AM to 5:00PM Mountains Standard Time, MST, GMT -7).

MoneySoft offers a 30-day money-back guarantee after your purchase any of the main applications: Fixed Asset Pro, DealSense, Business Valuation Specialist and Benchmark Pro. This gives you a risk-free way to try the software and make sure it fits your needs. The 30-day money-back guarantee does not apply to third-party data products because the third-party data is consumable.
