Park Information and Authorization Code

The Park information is not seen very often in the software, but it's very important.  It primarily consists of the campground's name, address and other contact information.  This is used on the printed receipts.  There are also three Notes fields for the park, which can be used to add "Additional Notes" to the printed Ticket Form receipts.

The other important thing about the park setup is the Authorization Code.  This code is required to access full functionality of the software (in fact you won't be able to define your sites without one), and is keyed off of the other park information.  When you purchase a license for Campground Master you will need to provide your park name and address information, which is used to generate a Key Code.  Cottonwood Software will then issue you an Authorization Code, which you must enter to unlock the software.  Thus, if the park changes its name or address, a new authorization code will be needed (but you will not be required to purchase a new license unless this is an additional installation).

If you have already purchased the software, then the procedure for entering the authorization code will be either in the pocket in the front of the printed manual or in an E-mail confirmation message (depending on the method of purchase).  See Park Setup in the Maintenance section for more details.
