Help resetting a password for an old version

• First, if you do not have a working version of SL download the version you registered from one of the above links.  You must download the correct version as the passwords are NOT interchangeable between versions 7, 8, and 9.
• Second, install SL on your computer if you have not already
• Third, run SL on your computer.  From the main menu open the registration form and complete it, then be sure to save the changes you made
• If you have a data back , then just copy the backup data file "SLXdata.mdb" to the sub-directory where you have SLX installed.   Note: SLX represent SL8, or SL9.
  • Alternatively, enter your old password if you have it.
  • If your product does not reset to your registered level (such as Hobbyist, Small Shop, or Commercial level) then. .
• Fourth, email the following to sales@sheetlayout.com
  • Your registration number found on the "registration page".
  • What level you registered ( Hobbyist, Small Shop. . . .)
  • Which registered version you have,  Version 8 or Version 9
  • Approximately when you purchased it.
  • Your old password if you have a record of it.
  • Note: Version 7 is over 6 years old and we no longer support password resets for that version. We do offer a 40% discount to registered users for product upgrades.  Please see our online store.
