Assign TAD License

Getting Started​

Each TAD user will need to be assigned a license in order for the Excel Add-in to work. The licenses are assigned in the TAD Admin - Licenses form in Vista.

Each license allows you to control security for individual users following the same security access that they have in Vista.

Assign License​

On the Vista main menu, navigate to User Database → Programs, where you will see the TAD forms.

Open the TAD Admin - Licenses form.
