If you purchased Workpapers CS in addition to other modules in Accounting CS, you will not see a separate icon for Workpapers CS in the application. All of the Workpapers CS functionality is bundled in the Accounting CS application, and all of your client data resides in a single shared location.

What about my staff who only need to access Accounting CS Workpapers? I don't want them to have full access to all areas in Accounting CS.

When setting up staff who only need to work within Accounting CS Workpapers, you can assign them to a workpapers-specific security group with privileges to access only those screens and tasks within Accounting CS Workpapers and limiting their access to other areas of the application based on their privileges. 

The Workpapers CS license may not be installed: To check the to see what licenses you have installed, choose Help > About. For details, see License information.

The Workpapers service may not be enabled for the client:

Add the Workpapers service for the client from the Clients screen. For details, see Adding or removing a service.

Select another client for which the Workpapers service is enabled from a screen in which the Client Selector field or Client List is available - for example, the Enter Transactions screen or Setup > Clients screen.

This prompt appears when you try to open Accounting CS with the Workpapers service activated, but security is not enabled for the firm. You may also have an active Workpapers CS trial license installed.

For details see, Enabling firm security and removing the Workpapers CS trial license in Accounting CS.

If you can't add the Workpapers service for your clients, be sure that you haven't set up more staff than you are licensed for in the Administrator security group. When setting up security, it is recommended that you create separate security groups based on task and assign the Administrator staff ID to one staff member with all privileges, known as the product champion.
