Details the licensing options in CCH Trust Accounts and how to add a new licence key (Telcode).

Once the software has been installed, licensing for Trust Accounts’ link to Accounts Formatting is shown on the Help > About > Licensing screen in Central. The option is called Central\Trust Accounts AP Link as highlighted below. Some users will also be licensed for CCH Accounts Production itself, but it is not required for the link. Users with the Trust Accounts AP Link are able to use CCH Accounts Production for producing the accounts, but data entry, investments, CGT etc. all remain in CCH Trust Accounts.

Licensing information within CCH Trust Accounts can be found in File > Info

The number of concurrent users can be seen alongside the Trust Accounts product name as shown below. The individual Product Options and whether they are licensed or not are shown by ticks in the grid.
