The Log-on Screen consists of three sections.
Top
The top section displays the PROMAS Landmaster logo. If you double click on the icon you can view the Release Notes. The Release Notes describe changes incorporated in that version and any procedures you must follow after updating.
Middle
The middle section displays the Company name that was entered during registration, followed by the unit limit of the license.
The next line identifies the working directory. This directory contains the license folder with the system registration and logon information. The database directories generally reside in subdirectories under the working directory. Clicking on this pathname will bring up a window that lets you select a different working directory path. The default is C:\RPROMAS. For networks, the path points to the server drive on which the data files are stored.
Next is the Database Find List. The most recently accessed database is displayed. Initially there are three databases:
System Security - used to register and not accessible prior to registration.
Practice Database - The first time you log-on an empty ten unit database will be initialized. When you register this becomes your working database.
Residential Demonstration - a 10 user database with sample data that can be used to become familiar with the program.
The User Name and Password field are set up using the System Security database. Once registered you must enter both.
Bottom
The third section has the Action Buttons - <OK> and <Cancel>.

Release Notes
Release notes will display when you first log into a new version. They can also be found by going to Help and click on Release Notes.
The release notes explain what is new in a version and what actions might need to be taken before using the updated software. Always follow the instructions in the release notes for an update.
The current version number and the version you are updating from are displayed above the detailed notes.
Highlighting the version line displays that version’s release notes.
