You must be running Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP or Windows NT in order to use this product natively.  If you are a Mac user then take heart as Home Business Manager also works very well layered on top of PC emulation software packages for the Mac such as Parallels Desktop.
 
This  is your system and we promise to keep your interests and needs at heart!  We welcome all comments and suggestions for the program.  Tell us what you love and what you don't like so much.  All correspondence and technical support questions should be directed through our
support email at: JLSyst@aol.com
 
1. Run the executable file that you have downloaded by double-clicking on it.  Note:  the filename will vary depending on which version you have downloaded as follows:

* HBMV97_USRT.EXE  (United States)

* HBMV97_CART.EXE (Canada)

* HBMV97_UKRT.EXE (United Kingdom)

* HBMV97_SART.EXE (South Africa)

* HBMV97_AURT.EXE (Australia)

NOTE: Depending on how your Microsoft Windows view is set, you may not see the .exe extension on the Setup file. 
 
The Setup wizard will walk you through the installation.  It is recommended that you choose to have the wizard put an icon on the desktop for easy starting.

Note:  If you are a new user to Home Business Manager you will be prompted to install the Access Runtime component to run HBM.  If you are simply upgrading from a previous version, you will not need to choose this option.

After the install process is complete, the system will reside in your c:\hbmv97 directory.  There will be an icon on your desktop as well as an entry in your Start Menu programs.
 
You will be asked to contact us for your password once you install the software.  This can be done via the support email above (preferred) or by calling the support line at (913) 814-7532. 

Before you do so, start the program in order to bring up your software Id that we will need to give you your passcode.  We apologize for the delay, but there are certain security measures that we are required to take in order to protect our system.  You will never be asked for this unlocking password again after you install the software and enter it once, so there is no need to remember it.
