Countercodes are a licensing option that you have when using FCS Express. For a detailed description of countercode, please click here.
A countercode is not required for 45 days after purchase. De Novo Software will only issue a countercode once we have received payment for your purchase. If you purchased using a credit card, your purchase will be approved as soon as the credit card payment is processed, which is typically as soon as we enter the order into our system.
After 45 days, the software will not run unless a countercode has been entered. Please follow the procedure described below in order to obtain the countercode. Remember that the countercode will lock that copy of FCS Express to a particular computer, so be sure only to request a countercode for the computer that you want to use FCS Express on.
If you wish to obtain a countercode prior to the 45 days being over, you can do so by selecting System->Enter Countercode from the Application Button. The wizards shown below will appear to guide you through the process.

Obtaining your countercode Automatically via the Countercode Wizard
