Client templates are automatically installed with new installations of Accounting CS, version 2013.1.0 or higher. If you already have a prior version of the application installed, follow the steps below to download and restore the client templates.

  4. In Accounting CS, choose File > Client Data Management Utility.

Notes

  • You can restore only one client template at a time using the Client Data Management Utility.
  • If you already have a version prior to 2013.1.0 of Accounting CS installed, be sure to create a folder called Backup in the X:\WINCSI\Accounting CS Data\Data folder prior to extracting the contents of the Accounting CS Template Clients ZIP file.
  • To restore sample client templates in Accounting CS via Virtual Office CS or Software as a Service (SaaS), click the Browse button in the File > Client Data Management Utility screen. In the Browse For Folder dialog, click the plus sign (+) to expand the folders for Computer > C$ (\\Client) (V:), and then browse to the application's backup folder location on your local drive.
