Accounting CS tracks the number of clients for whom you turned on the live payroll service, and counts it against the number of units for which your firm is licensed. When you are within 5 clients of the maximum you are licensed for, the application displays a message that says "Accounting CS Payroll is licensed for 5 more clients. Please contact an Account Representative at 1-800-968-8900 to increase your client limit."

When you reach the maximum limit, the application displays a message that says "Accounting CS Payroll has reached the XX client license limit. Please contact an Account Representative at 1-800-968-8900 to increase your client limit." and removes the live payroll option from the Add/Remove Services dialog.

Use one of the following methods to prevent these messages from being displayed.
