Question
-- WinSTIPS won't accept my old registration numbers
-- I installed WinSTIPS and it is asking if I want to register
 
Answer
If you have an existing WinSTIPS install on your PC (any version) or if you have already enjoyed a WinSTIPS free trial period, then WinSTIPS 2.0 must be registered before it will operate.

Here is what you need to know:
-- WinSTIPS must be purchased before registration numbers are issued
-- Every PC that WinSTIPS installs to generates a new serial number
-- Hardware or operating system changes may require a new registration number

Registering is easy!

Step 3: Use our Online Form to request a registration number.

We'll respond ASAP with the registration number and customer number that you'll use to register your copy of WinSTIPS

Alternatively, send the Serial Number displayed and your complete contact information to Support@ServiceSoftware.com and we'll reply with a registration number.

If you have a WinSTIPS Subscription, it will be 24 hours before Web Updates will be available for a new serial number.
