18.2. Restore software to default settings

To restore the software to default setting which will enable you to select a new company data location, you must do the following:

Go to the C Drive, programdata folder and the Sage Payroll.

Rename the following files:

pay.usr to pay.old
payroll.usr to payroll.old

Check the paydata text file to ensure that paydata still points to the C Drive>program files where the application is stored locally.

Now launch Sage Payroll. You will need to enter your serial number and license details. Sage technical support will provide this if they are lost.

Once the licensing has been entered, you will then be able to enter the company data location. You can do this by either browsing to the correct location or entering the folder path manually.
