Overview and Summary of 1099 Express Enterprise

Activation, Purchase and Test Mode

To Purchase this program, click on the HELP Menu, then ABOUT, then click the PURCHASE button.

To Activate this program, click on the HELP Menu, then ABOUT, then
click the ACTIVATE button. Enter your Invoice Number from your credit
card purchase receipt. If you purchased by check, enter the paid Invoice Number
we sent when we received your check.

This is the real program, not a demo version. It begins in TEST or DEMO Mode. In
TEST mode forms have the word SAMPLE stamped in large letters, and e-Filing is
locked out. When the program is activated, everything works in full function
mode, and SAMPLE is removed. There is no time limit on TEST mode.

TEST mode is an excellent way to test importing data, printing, editing data, or
simply typing data into the program by hand. All before you purchase this
program. Once your data is saved, you are ready to go. There is no need to start
over, or repeat steps. Just activate the program and begin printing and/or filing to the IRS.
