Registration - Demonstration Mode

Demonstration Mode happens when the Belina Payroll system is not registered.  Some, but not all, of the functionality of the system is available.  It allows prospective users of the software to become acquainted with the features of the system but it also allows existing users to continue to process transactions, but it does not allow the Calculation Routine, Period End and Reports. 

When the system is installed it is, by default, in demonstration mode.  The system also goes into demonstration mode if any of the following events occur:

The licence expiry date has lapsed:

The Belina Payroll HR license has a time limit, usually 3 months.  A new registration code is issued each time the license is renewed.

To check whether the license has expired:

- Go to the 'Setup' then 'Registration' menu options

- Check the 'Expiry Date'

- If it has expired contact Belina accounts department for a license renewal invoice.

Employees Exceeded:

The Belina Payroll HR license is valid for the number of employees on the User License. The number of employees may be exceeded by normal increase in employee numbers, but may also be affected by:

- not discharging employees properly

- having an unused, or non-current, payroll on the system that has not been marked as 'Dormant'. See FAQ topic: Dormant Payroll

Payroll moved:

If the payroll is moved from one folder to another, to another, disk drive or computer the registration details will change.  The system will automatically de-activate the User License, changing the 'Site Number' and putting the payroll into Demonstration Mode. The solution is to contact Belina to register the change of 'Site Number'.  A written confirmation of events should be sent by email.  We will email you back your new registration details.

New/ Re-installed Operating System:

If a new Operating System is installed the system will automatically de-activate the User Licence, changing the 'Site Number' and putting the payroll into Demonstration Mode. The solution is to contact Belina to register the change of 'Site Number'. A written confirmation of events should be sent by email.  We will email you back your new registration details.
