Install Ultimate Payroll v16

  1. Drag the entire Aatrix Ultimate Payroll folder into your OS X Applications folder.
  2. Continue with the First Time Launch of Ultimate Payroll instructions below to get started.

First Time Launch of Ultimate Payroll v16

  1. Navigate to your Applications folder, open the Aatrix Ultimate Payroll folder, and double click the Ultimate Payroll 16 program icon. (This is represented by an orange circle with a blue check on it.) This will launch Ultimate Payroll for the first time. The program will take a moment or two to open as it finishes installing itself. Please be patient.
  2. In the splash screen that appears, enter your name and company name in the appropriate fields.
  3. A License Agreement screen will display next. Review the agreement and then click Accept to continue. (Clicking Decline will exit the program.)
  4. In the Company Selection screen, select the test company, Rock Castle Construction, so you can finish entering your unlock codes. (You can set up your company later.)
  5. In the Registration Code screen, enter your customer number and the Unlock Code (or Registration code) you were given for your Tax Tables. Click the Register button.
  6. In the Program registration screen that appears, click Register Now button. Even though you do not have an Internet connection, this will launch your default web browser. Simply quit the browser. Clicking Register Now and letting your browser launch will prevent this screen from coming up again in the future. (If you did have an Internet connection, the program would connect to the Aatrix website where you would fill out a simple form with contact and computer information. Clicking the Register Later button will also let you continue, but the screen will appear each time you launch the program.)
  7. After the product registration screen, you may see a screen that says the program has been password protected. Enter the word, password, in lower case letters, and then click Continue. You can change the password and security preferences in the program later.
  8. A reminders screen, followed by the Payment History screen, will display. Click Done to continue through both these windows. (If you do not want to see these windows appear on program launch, you can mark the Don't show this window... checkboxes in each.)
  9. The Internet Update Check screen will appear next. (Those who do not have an Internet connection can mark the Do not show ... checkbox to avoid seeing this prompt.)

Your program is ready to run and will open, by default, to the Employee's tab window. If you want to set up your new company, click the Company tab, and in the Company tab window, click the New Company button on the toolbar to start the New Company Setup wizard. Please refer to the user manual or the Startup Guide for help in getting your program set up. Alternatively, if you have a computer in your office that is connected to the Internet, you can access www.aatrix.com and register for a free Live Webcast in which a support technician will guide you step by step in getting your company set up and ready to go.

Print & Mail Subscribers: Entering your Print & Mail registration code

  4. In the Registration screen that displays, enter your customer number in the top text box, and then enter the registration code for the forms package (or packages) you purchased one at a time. Click the Enter button to add each reg code to the list.
  5. When finished, click the Done button. Your Print & Mail reports are registered and ready to go.
