Start or restart the firm's Amicus subscription

[FOR AMICUS ADMINISTRATOR ONLY]

This topic covers:

Evaluation period

When you first install Amicus Cloud, its status is set to Evaluation and you are designated the firm's Amicus administrator. This free trial period permits you to use all functions, including adding other users. To continue using Amicus beyond this period, you must license Amicus for the firm.

● During the Evaluation period, the number of days remaining is shown next to your name at the top of the screen.

● Click Subscribe Now at any time during the evaluation period to start a subscription for the firm.

o If the evaluation period ended without you licensing, you can still start a subscription shortly afterward without loss of prior Amicus data—an email tells you how long you've got.

If the firm was previously licensed but you cancelled the subscription, you can still restart it shortly after its end without loss of prior Amicus data.

● Or, if the evaluation has expired or the subscription has been cancelled, click Subscribe Now in the message that appears when you attempt to login
