Palladium Accounting can be installed on any computer for trial or demonstration purposes with the exception of the Individual version that installs with a fully licensed version Free of Charge with absolutely no obligation. The Trial/Evaluation versions for the Business and Enterprise editions will expire once 250 transactions have been entered into any company. All trial versions of our software are complete software versions with no limit on functionality.
All trial version downloads can be easily converted into fully licenced copies by entering your product key and performing the activation process. So once you have installed our software and would like to purchase it you do not need to download any software again.
Installation Overview
The software installation can be performed in one of 2 ways. Either as a One-Click Install or by only installing or updating the specific required components. For first-time users we highly recommend the One-Click install where you can simply sit back, have a cup of coffee, and let the installer do all the work. The installation itself consists of 3 components, namely :
- Prerequisites Package (this includes the latest Crystal reporting tools and .net Framework).
- Database (in the form of MS Sql 2008 R2 Express). Not necessary where the MSSQL Database is already installed.
- The Accounting Software itself, which has 3 options, namely Individual, Business or Enterprise Edition.
Installation Instructions
- Please make sure your computer system meets the minimum hardware requirements.

- Visit our online help system to view the product manuals for further assistance with your installation and setup. Note that the product user manuals can be downloaded directly from within your Palladium Accounting program.
- One of the more common problems experienced is where you already have a session of MS SQL Server installed on your computer. Should you experience a "Connection Error", please download the [ article here ].
