Licensing EFT

Third Wave Business System SAP® Business One add-ons have been updated with an automatic licensing procedure. In order to obtain a permanent license key, the production environment SAP® Business One installation number must first be provided to TWBS Support so that the information can be entered into our systems.

Without this information you will only be able to obtain a 30-day application trial license.

On start up, the application client will verify that a valid license exists for the application having been purchased based on your SAP® Business One installation number. If the license is verified, the application will start. If the application has not been purchased, a 30-day trial license will be issued to allow for limited use of the application. If your trial license has expired and you would like to purchase the application to obtain a full license key, please contact Third Wave Business Systems @ (201) 703-2100.
