You will also require the Web Daemon to be installed and up to date. (For Platinum Online use you will not need to purchase additional Platinum modules.)

Logging into Platinum Online
- To log into Platinum Online you will first need to set up your online password. To do this see How do I set or change my Platinum Online Password?
Once you have set your Platinum Online password, click on " Help About Platinum" and make a note of the "Online ID". This will be in the format 'AAA@9999', where 'AAA' represents your User Code (normally your initials) and '9999' is your Company ID (allocated to your company by us). You will need these credentials to log into Platinum Online.
Open your web browser and go to Platinum Online.
- In the "Online ID" field, enter your 'Online ID'.
- In the "Password" field, enter your Platinum Online password and click [Log in].
- Click the [Menu] button at the top left to see a list of available options.
- The Platinum Online options available will be defined by those that you have available in Platinum, so if you want to perform a stock enquiry, you must have access to Stock Enquiries in Platinum. Security controls in Platinum apply in your online copy of Platinum, so for example you will only have access to cost prices in Platinum Online if you have access to cost prices in Platinum.
