Registering your database is required if you plan to use WebTools or upload a backup to CTS for safekeeping. Doing this will also tell you if you have an active or expired support contract. It will also allow you to view free training videos for Shepherd’s Staff as long as you have an active support contract.
Please note that an active support contract is also required to use WebTools and upload your backup to CTS.
